CARROT CAKE SUPREME WITH BUTTERMILK GLAZE AND CREAM CHEESE FROST



Carrot Cake Supreme With Buttermilk Glaze and Cream Cheese Frost image

I found this recipe in a Southern Living cookbook and it is the BEST!!! I am a custom cake baker and decorator and am always hunting for great cake recipes. I know it looks intimidating, as the recipe has 3 parts: Cake, Glaze and Frosting...that's why there's soo many ingredients listed. Every time I make this cake people literally go crazy...I've even had a marriage proposal over this one! Watch out people...you might just get yourself hitched.
