I’m making this cake tomorrow for the first time! I’ve read comments that the cake – espeically the frosting (the one with a custard base) can be a bit tricky, and wondering if anyone has any advice for a first try? Will post pics afterwards!!

Also – is there any reason not to shred the carrots in a food processor?

    Mia en place makes it easier for sure. Prep your carrots and do any of the fiddly things tonight if you can.

    I have made this several times and prepping makes it whip up quicker. For the icing: just take your time, follow the instructions, and use a thermometer to verify temps. If it gets too warm just pop it back into the fridge per the instructions.
