Carrot Cake!

So, my friend Jordyn and I are taking a cake decorating class. It has been very fun so far.. but kind of challenging! I'll share with you the recipe I used for this past weeks cake.. it was one of  Paula Deen's (hey ya'll!) (sorry, I have to say that every time I hear her name) recipes. It's called Grandma Hiers' Carrot Cake. I used two 8 in. cake rounds. For the filling, I made the cream cheese frosting and added about a tablespoon of freshly squeezed orange juice for an 'Orange Cream Cheese Filling'.

The cake was SUPER moist and delicious!

After you make the cake, let it cool and then make the cream cheese filling.

In class, we are taught to make a border around the edges so the filling doesn't leak out.

then put in your filling...

and stack your cakes..

and frost it... I usually put a big glob in the middle and work it down the sides

and it's time to take it to class!

Can't forget the flowers I made for decoration!

The mess and the finished cake!

Mine and Jordyn's cake @ class. (There's our teacher in the back!)

The best part... Time to eat!!!
