Caitlin,
Love your blog. Just wandering why the frosting is called coconut cream and no coconut products are listed as the ingredients? I made this yesterday for my belated birthday gift for myself and it was delicious! So thank your step-mother for the creation.
that recipe for Carrot cake is wonderful…thank you so much! I did not have enough almond meal so subbed coconut flour….still really good! I appreciate your posts!
