Carrot baby food sounds like an interesting addition to these bars! Great post!


There used to be a recipe in the cake file simply called Baby Food Cake. Julia, that cake was so moist and tasty! Alas, it's gone and I wish I could find it again. If I do, I'll share with you. Thanks for the five, my friend.

Yum! I love carrot cake so I bet these are delicious!!


I'm with you on carrot cake, jett. I guess if we cut these small enough, they could be bite-sized treats and then we could eat MORE of them. Thanks,
Lorraine


Another keeper! My dad's a big fan of carrot cake and I'm sure he will love these. Thanks!


Maybe your dad and I should get together for a carrot cake lovers' festival, diana! It's one of my great loves too. Enjoy!
