  1. Hi Miss McCombie,
    Yum! That looks very delicious.
    I have just started enjoying carrot cake because I used to not like the taste.
    When I write the sign for a teaspoon, I do tsp, I do not tspn.
    Does it make 3 layers, or does is make more?
    The flavour of cakes that are my go to are the Lemon And Yoghurt Cake by Donna Hay or a friends recipe for a Chocolate Cake. Is this your go to cake?
    Enjoy eating this carrot cake,

    1. Afternoon Zara,
      It is so delicious. I remember biking home from school when I was young to come home to find Mum had baked a fresh carrot cake ready for us to eat!
      I even put the recipe on the New Brighton Seaside Market page to win a competition - there was lots of yummy recipes on there.
      What is your favourite type of cake?

    2. Kia ora Miss McCombie,
      My favourite type of cake would have to be lemon drizzle, as it just gets better by day and it is not that sweet either.
      I imagine yours is carrot cake?

      You nailed it - Carrot Cake is my ultimate favourite. My granny from England makes a good lemon drizzle cake.
