I have noticed lately that all my posts currently involve
some form of food. My papers and punches are collecting dust as I’m spending
more of my time in the kitchen with friends. Food is something that brings
people together and I find it interesting that during a recent conversation
about my friends’ dream homes, every one of them wanted a large kitchen island
as a hub for entertaining.
This rather interesting creation should have been posted a
long time ago. My friend Casey’s birthday is on Valentine’s day and he once
jokingly told us that in the past, it was difficult to find friends to
celebrate with him because so often, they are out with their significant
others. Well, our church fellowship group was planning on meeting up that
weekend to watch sports anyway so Amy, Emily, Tim and I decided to bake a cake
to celebrate him gaining another year on his dish. ;)
This carrot cake recipe has been described as “the best
carrot cake I have ever had” by more than one person. It was also an excellent
way to put more vegetables in the diets of the guys of our group.
Since the gathering was in the evening, our plan was to bake
the cake in the afternoon and bring it out as a surprise. Unfortunately, we
were off to a slow start and so had barely managed to finish the baking portion
before Casey arrived. The assembly and decorating of the cake is a comedic
story involving a cramped laundry room, a mess of icing and multiple attempts
at breaking away from the group without being noticed. Oh the things we do for our friends… J
We got this recipe from here. I'm sure this is not going to be the last time we make this!
