Carrot Cake ideas


I have been wanting an excuse to buy a mini bundt cake pan and decided the church cake walk would be a great one. I used Kelly's recipe for carrot cake and icing from a post before but really wanted to make it fun with an easy but cute piped icing design and a big bright red-orange daisy.
So in all honesty I really screwed up!!! I had procrastinated like normal and waited until Saturday night thirty minutes before Brayden's bed time to start my cakes that needed to be made for Sunday morning. So as I was planning how to accomplish this with the kitchen probably less than 10 feet from his room I decided to do everything that required the Kitchen-Aid first and then I would mix the rest after putting him to bed. Well, I read the recipe to quickly and somehow forgot the SUGAR. So I call Kelly telling her my mistake and hope that the smart girl that she is could help me in my despair to figure out the ratio and I can add sugar to the rest of the batter to be able to have something to take for the cake walk. As I am telling her my fopa she starts laughing so Matt asks what is up, so she inform him that I just made a cake with out SUGAR. So of course there is a long laugh at my expense and the question comes to: "How is it a cake without sugar?" So problem is solved and cake making commences. Next I find out that I am missing 3 ingredients to finish the icing. Yes, 3 ingredients for icing and you would be correct if the first thing that will comes to mind there are not too many ingredients in icing. So Brayden is in bed but not asleep. By this point I am determined to finish this cake and be done! So I get Brayden out of bed and ask him if he wants to go to the store. (yes, I know horrible mom)So the moral of this story is baking + procrastination are not good ingredients to mix.
