Carrot Cake

I'm excited to be taking part in a fun Easter collaboration with many talented bakers over on Instagram. For this bake, you had to either incorporate carrots into your bake, such as in a cake, cookies or cupcakes, or you could include carrots as part of the decoration, along with other Easter themed things such as bunnies or crosses. Be sure to check out the hashtags #eastercollab2019 to see all the baking creations.
