The Cereal A Sweet Root Cake Incorporates Green Foliage

— January 23, 2013 — Lifestyle

This particular recipe changes up the time-honored dish. While classic ingredients are incorporated, inclusive of walnuts, apples, coconut, cinnamon and sugar, its surrounding layer has been topped here with a ring of carrots. The green sprouts that pop out are reminiscent of actual gardens, making the A Sweet Root recipe quite playful and creative. A cream cheese frosting coated the layers, adding sugary yet savory flavors to the treat.
