Suze’s Killer Carrot Cake

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

Suze at work is such a trooper. Despite being under the weather, she whipped up this amazing carrot cake for Lisa’s birthday, and even talked her partner into dropping it into the office because she was unwell.

Now that is what I call a true commitment to cake. And it was a triumph!

Great job Suze!
