Who loves cake?  We do, we do!  Pretty much any kind floats our boat, but our absolute fave is CARROT CAKE!  We love that it is a sweet treat, but that some recipes incorporate savory and even some spicy ingredients like ginger.  Seriously, if you never tried that, please do…it’s delish!  Now, how about taking carrot cake to the streets?  Make it portable and even great for gifting by converting it to Carrot Cake Mini Whoopie Pies, with a creamy, tangy cream cheese filling.  Samantha at Five Heart Home shows you the step by step to make these delightful treats for your family and friends.
