carrot cake!

i was really eager to try out the biscuit cutters that i bought the other day so i decided to use them to cut the carrot cake into little circular slices. thankfully, the cake wasn't that crumbly so it held its shape. 

i used a little less than a cup of sugar rather than the two cups that it called for but the same amount of oil. it still turned out pretty sweet and cake-like so i might try to use even less sugar next time and maybe substitute applesauce for some of the oil.

as for the icing, i'm not sure how to make it have a thicker consistency. it was more like a thick liquid rather than a cream, which was a little disappointing. it was also less homogenous as i imagined it to be. need to work on that...
