Must have cream cheese frosting, BTW. Sun Mar 29 07:52:07 -0700 2009 10101 Nancy C 1 4548229 Hi Nancy! It's not in Westchester, but Lloyd's is worth the few extra minutes south on the Saw Mill Pkwy. I'm a carrot cake fiend and always ask for it for my birthday too! (Your step-daughter has great taste!) Lloyd's in the Bronx (Riverdale - on Broadway - right across from Van Cortlandt Park) has delicious carrot cakes - it's pretty much the only thing they do! And they're pretty reasonable as far as cost. website: http://lloydscarrotcake.com/about.html Sun Mar 29 08:01:19 -0700 2009 4548206 59004 Sra. Swanky 2 4548623 Flour+Sun in Pleasantville makes a mean carrot cake cupcake with cc frosting--completely addictive. They do special cupcake arrays for events as well as fullsize cakes as special orders. http://www.flourandsunbakery.com/flour_sun_bakery/special-orders.html Sun Mar 29 10:36:24 -0700 2009 4548229 10235 spa 1 4550701 I really liked the carrot cake from Fleetwood Bakery that was bought for my birthday 2 years ago.

Pricey but a beautiful presentation for a birthday. http://www.susanlawrence.com/home/ Mon Mar 30 09:48:22 -0700 2009 4548206 207566 Kat_in_Ossining 2 4551375 Riviera Bakhousein Ardsley makes a really adorable looking one, like a basket full of carrots.

We went for the Lloyds, which is fantastic, but look forward to a tasting tour of carrot cake at the other places you've mentioned. Had a funny tasting at home last night of Juniors and Little Pie Company slices purchased at Grand Central. Little Pie won the test, but Lloyd's is even better. Junior's was rather odd - decent, light textured cake but icing that tasted/textured like it had pudding or some gluey stuff. Yuck... Thanks again - should be a hit!

I have Spring Break vaca from work - I think I might grab a cake then as well. A carrot cake tasting tour - what a good idea!! (Now I'm DEFINITELY going to have trouble losing this baby weight!) Enjoy her birthday! :o) Sat Apr 04 04:04:10 -0700 2009 4565863 59004 Sra. Swanky 1 4743157 Central Plaza Diner on Central Ave. in Yonkers in a strip mall just past Tuckahoe Rd., has the best carrot cake I have ever had. I think it blows Lloyd's out of the water. This is the real deal. I had a friend try it and she is ordering one for her birthday.They don't always have it (it sells out almost as soon as they make it), so call ahead if that is what you are going there for 914-779-8030 Thu Jun 04 15:01:44 -0700 2009 4548206 91796 chowdom 2 4743384 I'm intrigued, chowdom! Blows Lloyd's out of the water?? Better get myself down to that diner very soon! You think I can call and ask if they're serving it for dessert that day? Thanks for the great tip! Thu Jun 04 16:28:23 -0700 2009 4743157 59004 Sra. Swanky 3 4743446 I think he makes it on Saturday's, yes you can always call and check. They are very nice, they saved a piece for my friend to try. Oh, your welcome! Thu Jun 04 16:54:22 -0700 2009 4743384 91796 chowdom
