It must be a slice of homemade (not of the frozen variety) with pure cream cheese frosting (absolutely no whipped cream) cake. Any advise?

I like that it has pineapple and walnuts, not too sweet, no orange dyed carrots, good cream cheese icing, good size piece. Although last time I got some it was heavily dusted with nutmeg/cinnamon- I prefer it without that.

Not that this helps you, but I did just have an amazing carrot cake in Grand Marais- Lola's carrot cake-- divine! No raisins but otherwise scrumptious. If you are ever up there, you should make an effort to get some! ;) Wed Aug 26 07:18:57 -0700 2009 4977358 81144 turtlebella 1 5151717 My favorite carrot cake is Wuollet Bakery's carrot cupcake. Rich carrot flavor with fantastic cream cheese frosting. I've also enjoyed P. J. Murphy's Bakery in Saint Paul. I'm going to have to disagree with turtlebella, I found French Meadow's carrot cake to be bland and dry. I've never been impressed with French Meadow but had expected it to be better than a Little Debbie product from Super America.... It wasn't.

Plenty of icing for those that care...
