Carrot cake in a jar
My bakerella sister gave me this carrot cake in a jar. I'm not very good at baking and easily screw up the simplest recipes. Last week I even failed to boil some eggs… I had the flu, so there was an excuse, but still. I really enjoy baking though! And I also like eating carrot Read article…
