Coolest Carrot Cake

Carrot Cake has always been my favorite kind of cake.

I decided to be silly and make it carrot shaped!
I made half a recipe for carrot cake from a cookbook and baked it in an 8"x8" pan. Once cooled I cut the cake in half and stacked it to make it 2 layers. I spread store bought cream cheese frosting in between the layers.

I cut off the corners on one side to make it come to a point and flipped those pieces to make the stem part. I then colored some of the frosting orange with gel food coloring and iced the cake. Then the left over orange I made darker for the lines and writing on the cake. I then dyed some more frosting green for the stem part, then frosted the stem part. The left over green I made darker and drew the lines on the stem part.
