Looking for the perfect Easter dessert? Check out this super easy carrot sheet cake!
I love carrot cake and it’s perfect for Easter time. Plus, it’s so easy to toss together and there’s no stress over making the perfect layer cake. Or making sure your cake comes out of the bundt pan. Just an easy peasy sheet cake covered in cream cheese frosting.
What is carrot sheet cake?
For Ryley’s party last month I bought the cake but we had homemade pizza. I say “we” but the kids are the ones who made them. We lined them up, set out all the ingredients and had them make their own personal pizza. It was neat to watch them create their own.
Some kids had tons of cheese or pepperoni and then some kids went light on their toppings. Some made smiley faces with their pepperoni and some didn’t want any at all. It was fun to watch them use their little imaginations on their pizzas.
