“April showers bring May flowers” 💐
Happy Holidays y’all.
The best carrot cake I’ve ever had was from my first pastry chef, Ehab. An Egyptian chef that owned an Italian/Mediterranean pastry shop. That carrot cake had soaked raisins, crushed pineapples, carrots, and walnuts.
We omitted the walnuts for allergy reasons, but we stuck with the soaked raisins, crush pineapples, and carrot part. These aren’t just cookies with carrots. No, indeed. These are carrot cakes turned into cookies!
The best part is the cream cheese frosting isn’t too sweet. 👌
Enjoy these carrot cake cookies with a carrot cake latter all weekend at cafe in Old City at the corner of 3rd and Arch Street.
Fyi, it also happens to be 1st Friday, so they will be ope until 7pm with live DJ music. 🎶 🕺 🪩
Last slide is Whoopi Pies for tomorrow 11am-12am 🥵. See y’all there.
Carrots are loaded with beta-carotene, which your body converts to vitamin A and is essential for healthy skin, hair and vision.
So get your beta-carotene on this weekend!!!! 🥕
