Not today, but tomorrow is my Big Baby's birthday.This was his last year's birthday picture with his requested Birthday cake.
Like last year he has requested me to make my carrot cake again for his birthday.
If you haven't made this cake yet, since it's been on my blog for over a year now, you really should!
Jordan made one last week and took to an office birthday party and it was a hit.
You really can't go wrong, I promise, you'll love it!
Just ask anyone that has had it, they'll tell ya how good it is, yum.

My husband loves carrot cake, but I've never made one for him. I will definitely try yours. We love to eat sweets.
Happy Birthday to your boy. How old is he? I bet he's funny. I know a few Libra men and they have the best sense of humors, always joking and laughing.
Have a wonderful day Gigi.
oh i want a slice of that right now!
Your "Big Baby" looks a lot like my "Big Baby"! He's 29 and is a big boy with a beard. That cake looks delicious. Can I tell you a funny carrot cake story? My oldest, when he was 10 years old, got very upset when I made a carrot cake for his birthday. He was so mad that he spent the birthday party time in his bedroom. It's now a family joke and he admits he does like carrot cake now.
I'll have to try this recipe and make sure he gets some!
He has such a great birthday (wink wink - it's mine too - ha ha!).
Hope it is a good one and he enjoys what looks like a super delicious cake!! He has a great mom!
This recipe is the best ever, EVER!
My mouth is watering now. Are you bringing one this weekend???
Love you,
Carla
Happy Birthday to your "big baby"! There's no better way to celebrate than with carrot cake! :) This recipe looks really good!

Happy Birthday to your big boy! You and I have both been busy in October. The Girl's was last week and the Marine's is tomorrow. tell me, Gigi, where do all the years go??
can't believe you use baby food for the carrot cake. Is it because he is you baby? LOL
