Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting and Candied Carrot Decorations [OC]

This carrot cake combines classic flavors with elegant presentation. The cake itself is incredibly moist from fresh carrots and warm spices, while the cream cheese frosting adds the perfect tangy sweetness.

The piped frosting lines create clean visual appeal, and the little fondant carrots add a playful touch that immediately tells you what flavor you're getting. Finished with crunchy walnuts and fresh herbs for texture contrast.

The best part is how the spices fill the kitchen while it's baking – cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger create such a comforting aroma
