More cake decorating! This time for a super special occasion, my brother’s 40th birthday. We both love our home state to pieces, yet hate it at the same time for not making it easy/possible to live there full time. Soon, Vermont, soon…

I used this Carrot Cake Recipe for the cake but I wouldn’t really recommend using carrot cake of any kind for this type of “sculptured” cake. It is a bit too crumbly and while it worked out fine, it would have been easier if it had been a pound cake, which has a smaller crumb and holds together better under the knife.
