Carrot Cake Special

We personally feel that the winning factor of a good American Carrot Cake lies in the moist texture of the cake and the proportion of cream cheese, butter/margarine and sugar in the cream cheese frosting. To some people such as Yuan, the amount of cinnamon plays a role, thereby explaining our scoring system.

Below is the delayed telecast of the December Special of American Carrot Cakes where a total of 10 carrot cakes from various locations of Singapore have been tried. Of course, there are still a handful of places that serve carrot cakes (e.g. Secret Recipe, Brewerkz, Blue Magnolia, Baker's Creation, Soup Spoon, Aerin's, Seasons Reasons and Haato) which we have not tried and we welcome all comments and recommendations.
