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!

Basically, if you can eat it, you can use luster dust on it! But here are my l favorite ways to use it:

- Royal Icing Cookies
- Fondant cakes
- Buttercream Cakes/Cupcakes (but buttercream must be cold when applied)
- Chocolate Covered anything (including cake pops)
- Splattered on brownies

Rose Gold, Gold and Black available @sweetsindeed.

My roommate hates glitter more than anything…but I can’t stop using it! Look how amazing our @sweetsindeed Edible Glitter Spray makes this cupcake look!

But I have agreed to only use glitter in my studio though. I feel like that is a fair compromise 🙌
