Confession
This was my breakfast today. I have fairly strong self-control. I was always the kid who still had halloween candy leftover by the time Easter rolled around. I enjoy sweets, but for the most part can resist eating them in large quantity. If I make cookies or cakes around here, it’s always for a large gathering of people. I get a cookie or two, or a piece or two of cake, and that’s enough for me. If I have too many leftovers, I have trouble finishing them before they go bad. But not with carrot cake. Carrot cake immediately initiates selfish hording instincts. There’s something about the soft, not overly sweet cake paired with homemade cream cheese frosting that completely melts all of my willpower. And that’s when I cut myself a big piece for breakfast. The recipe is now up on “From the kitchen”. Bake at your own risk. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
I confess that occasionally I too have a breakfast similar to this one, Katherine! This week, 2 peanut butter cookies (that were made by Shirley Lanham & were irresistible) were my breakfast. One of Gpa’s favorite cakes is carrot cake – he requested it for his 80th bday dinner.
