Hi, I'm Chef Mercedes. I'm a graduate of the French Culinary Institute/International Culinary Center's classic pastry arts program. Currently I do not work in the food industry so I use this blog to share my love of eating and passion for baking with the world. I hope you’ll enjoy what I have to share about baking and that I’ll inspire you to bake as well.

Carrot Cake
This carrot cake was surprisingly good. I'm not a huge carrot cake fan but this was an exception to that rule. I think that's because most carrot cake I've tried is dry and bland and/or has raisins in it. (By the way, I love raisin...just not in cake.) This was moist and flavorful and had no raisins! Plus the frosting (which is always the best part of carrot cake) was incredible! It was a proper cream cheese frosting and there was more than enough to put on a nice thick layer. The side is coated with crushed walnuts and the top is decorated with the cutest marzipan carrots (which I made myself.)
