Yesterday was my lovely husband Chris' birthday, and this year I am determined to do more baking (from scratch). I love making cakes and cupcakes for special occasions, but sadly don't do it as often as I would like. And although not really a person to set myself resolutions with the dawning of a New Year, I am going to make more of an effort to get stuck into the kitchen a little bit more.
Inspired by my friend Marinda, who posted on her Lady Cookie Monster blog last week, what was promised to be a nice & simple Carrot Cake recipe... I took to the kitchen to make Chris' birthday cake. Check out the recipe HERE - it was nice and simple to make, and so very delicious :)
And I fashioned some cute mini 'carrots' with dried apricots and green lolly snakes.
This is also my first contribution to the wonderful 'and then, she {snapped}' blog's 'Photo Show Off' :)

That looks OH SO delicious! And the picture is lovely Rebecca. I just know that one of these days, going to work for you is going to mean picking up your camera. :) Tara will more than likely be arranging the props for you, and telling you how to hold your elbows correctly, because as my father always said, it's all in how you hold your elbows. (for everything!)
Be still my heart- that looks so GOOD!
