Hey friends❣️

We're 18 days into spring 2025...have you made a carrot cake yet??

​Carrot Cake Sheet Cake​

Why make a carrot cake sheet cake? My carrot layer cake is classic and impressive, but this sheet cake is easier to assemble and frost, easier to transport if you are taking it to an event, and you can slice it up to feed as many as you need. From a sliver to a big square you can adjust the size of your serving to fit your appetite and your diet 🥕😀

There's so much carrot cake inspiration here you'll probably make a couple before Easter (10 days and counting...)

​This is one of those alternative pestos that gives the original a run for its money (most of them don't even come close.)

​One taste of the real deal kinda makes you wonder how they get away with such a mediocre commercial product!​
