Carrot Cake

To start the beginning of my Easter weekend holiday, I felt compelled to do a little baking and tried a new carrot cake recipe.   I'm not sure that I will use this recipe again as it was such a faff to create...separating the eggs, then whisking the egg whites was a little over the top I felt.  Also, the cake baked rather a "deep caramel" colour which I do not think really looks that appetising although in fairness, the cake was very moist and tasty.

I did have fun making the marzipan carrots though.

This recipe came from the My Cake Decorating magazine which is available off the shelf and does seem to provide good ideas to spruce up the odd afternoon bake session.
