Im always experimenting with new ideas. In this recipe I tried out my most recent idea, incorporating the carrot not only in the carrot cake but also in the icing itself. This not only gives the carrot cake a new twist but allows the gorgeous natural orange of the carrot to shine. I adapted 'Aunt Florences Orange Cake' from the Ballymalloe Cookery Course Book. Adding carrot, walnut and white chocolate to the base recipe and smothering with the carrot and vanilla creamcheese icing!

Dear Cully and Sully

Please keep me in mind for this fantastic opportunity, Im studying Culinary Arts in DIT and in my final year now. Baking is not my forte but maybe with a bit of help from BallyMalloe it could be. Ive decided to leave facebook because I have a thesis that really needs attention, but hopefully this wont scupper my chances!

Regards,

Louise xoxo
