Holidays, A different kind of Carrot Cake!

Happy Easter!

We had a community Easter Egg hunt Saturday, all the little bunnies were so adorable

Baskets in hand, my bunnies patiently waited for the hunt to begin…

For our celebration we had a “Carrot” cake

This is not your traditional carrot cake,

this is a Beach Bum Butter Rum Cake

You can substitute rum extract instead of the rum if you like

A very easy cake to make, and to save time I used cream cheese icing in a can, doctored with a little almond extract

The bunnies were hopping in delight!!
