I wanted a very special recipe for this combination. A dense fruity carrot cake, not overly sweet, not with too much spice and topped with a creamy cheesecake adorned with a cream cheese frosting that was sublte ,sweet, light, and delicious I looked over many recipes and prepartions but decided I wanted two distinct layers; one of carrot cake and another or cheesecake and the last layer of the creamy light textured frosting.
