Every year I try to make a cake for Easter, but I think someone went a bit far here?
I gotta give these girls credit though; it should be enough cake to serve 300 people without baking several cakes.
Talking about cakes- Here is my favorite recipe for- Carrot Nut Cake. My mother gave me the recipe and my kids thoroughly enjoy consuming it after the Easter dinner.
I decided to share it with my audience.
It is sure to please!
