Carrot Cake With Spiced Honey Frosting


How to Make the Best Carrot Cake

Now that Halloween is over, we have officially entered into the Holiday Season, or what I like to call Dinner Party Season. I know Thanksgiving is still a few weeks away, but it’s never too early to start planning. This week, I teamed up with my friend Stephanie from Just West Designs to bring you a Winter Inspired Table Setting. Stephanie is a very talented photographer and designer – so I just provided the cake and let her do the rest (with a little help from Suite Paperie on the Place Cards and Flourish of Sacramento on the Flower Arrangements). If you ask me, I think she did a pretty amazing job – clean, simple, and absolutely beautiful!

Midnights Era - The final era in this cake roundup. Taylor announced her 10th studio album as “a collection of music written in the middle of the night...exploring old memories and midnights past”. We all have stuff that keeps us up at night. It’s what makes us human. But no matter who we are or where we live or what’s going on in our lives - just outside our windows, the same moon and stars shine over us all. And I think there is something comforting about that. So for this final cake, I went for a start night sky. Let me know what you guys think!

Evermore Era - This album is the sister album to Folklore - aka a lot of time in the woods with a more mature indie folk sound. Becuase I decided to stick with a black and white color palate for the Folklore cake, I knew I wanted to create the moss-covered Piano for my Evermore cake. And even though the moss may or may not look like broccoli from some angles, I am pretty happy with how this cake turned out! Let me know what you guys think!
