 Carrot Wedding Cake and Almond Frosting
 
From Jennie on December 6, 2009....
I had to bake a cake today for a Christmas Party, so thought I would share the recipe.  It is for
carrot cake which normally would be frosted with a cream cheese type frosting.  Generally I have
to do some creative decorating with carrot cake as a base for a cake, I do not use cream cheese
frosting because it is too difficult for an amateur such as me to handle, so I use a different one for
the outside coating, and use the cream cheese frosting for the filling.
 
The poinsettias are made of white chocolate and dusted with colored sugar.  When using white
chocolate for this purpose, I am more successful when I use chips instead of the blocks.  I mix
the chips with a bit of Crisco to get the right consistency.  Bea French is my sister.  The cake
I baked is a 12" layered cake and requires 3 times the recipe as I have given it for two layers. 
It will feed about 40 people.
