I recently made a carrot cake for my dad's birthday and, aside from the cake wanting to fall apart from the vast amount of goodies inside, I think it turned out pretty nice.
I apologize for the less-than-awesome picture quality. I left my camera at school, so I took this picture on my dad's Xoom tablet. I have to say, it could have been worse.
(Yay for walnuts to cover up the fact that you didn't make enough frosting)
