Do You Carrot All Cake
Juicy carrots and sweet pecan layers filled with cream cheese spread and frosting. A perfect sized cake for two. Big enough for seconds.
Welcome to another #FestiveFoodies event! Today we’ve compiled recipes for two to share on or around Valentine’s Day!
Chocolate always reins on Valentine’s Day. But other flavors say love too! We don’t always agree.
I love banana cake. He doesn’t.
He loves powdered jelly doughnuts. I don’t.
One year we surprised each other with chocolate covered strawberries. We also bought them at the same store about an hour apart on our way home from work. True story. But then who wouldn’t be happy to get a chocolate covered strawberries! 🙂
We both like carrot cake. Me more than him though. So a small cake works best!
Big enough for Valentine’s Day without a week of leftovers!
Go on have a bite!
