Like carrot cake (& cream cheese)?  This is the best!

The tradition at my place of employment is sorta strange — the person having the birthday brings the treats for everyone else.  Weird, huh?  Well, anyway, my big day is Tuesday, and I’ll be traveling to D.C. for work.  So, I’m thinking better brew up something for tomorrow, AND I realized I had never shared this amazing recipe.  This won’t feed the everyone, but my team is going to be in cream cheese heaven!

Some might say that the frosting is what it’s all about.  Frankly, I’m not sure, but it’s easy peasy, quick and delish!

Also, my Easter Sunday has involved changing out all the batteries in our smoke detectors – I encourage you to do the same!

Enjoy!
