carrot cake cupcake.

This was a carrot cake recipe that I decided to split up into cupcakes!  With a creamy cream cheese frosting the cupcake was delicious! The cake was light, not soggy, and SO GOOD. Successful first carrot cake :)

lemon roll

This was my first lemon roll!  The roll is made of a light, spongey lemon cake topped with powdered sugar. For experimentation's sake I filled the roll half with cream cheese frosting and half with lemon curd.  Although it was my first time using a double boiler, the lemon curd turned out alright; but it soaked through the cake making it difficult to fold, transport, and thus made the roll less of a success.  Though it was slightly deflated it created a rich, delectable dessert.  Perhaps next time I will try applying both cream cheese frosting as a base layer followed by the lemon curd.

Although the shape of the roll wasn't picturesque, it was delicious and I will definitely be attempting another roll in the near future!
