2 cups sugar
2 cups flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
4 eggs
4 cups grated carrots
1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup raisins
Pecan Cream Filling:
1-1/2 cups sugar
1/4 cup flour
3/4 tsp. salt
1-1/2 cups heavy cream
3/4 cup unsalted butter
1-1/4 cups chopped pecans

8 oz. soft unsalted butter
8 oz. soft cream cheese
1 box (1 lb.) powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Assembly:
1-1/2 cups shredded, sweetened coconut
Directions:
Pecan Cream Filling:
In a heavy saucepan, blend well the flour, sugar and salt. Gradually stir in the cream. Add the butter. Cook and stir the mixture over a low heat until the butter has melted, then let simmer for 20-30 minutes until golden brown in color, stirring occasionally. Cool to lukewarm. Stir in the nuts and vanilla. Let cool and refrigerate, preferably overnight. If too thick to spread, bring to room temperature before using.
Carrot Cake:
Preheat oven to 350掳F. Have ready a greased and floured 10'; tube cake pan. In a large bowl, wisk together the corn oil and sugar. Sift together the flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Sift half the dry ingredients into the sugar-oil mixture and blend.

Cool upright on a cooling rack. If you are not using the cake that day it can be removed from the pan, wrapped in plastic and stored at room temperature.
Cheese Cream Filling:
Cream the butter well. Add the cream cheese and beat until blended. Sift in the sugar and add the vanilla. If it is too soft to spread, chill a bit. Chill if not using immediately, but bring to room
temperature before spreading.
Assembly:
Preheat oven to 300掳F. Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until it colors lightly. Toss the coconut occasionally while it is baking so that it browns evenly.

With a long serving knife, carefully split the cake into three horizontal layers. Spread the filling between the layers. Spread the frosting over the top and sides. Pat the coconut onto the sides of the cake.

Ingredients
Butter and flour, for spring form pan
2 cups pastry flour
3/4 cup cocoa powder
11/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
2 cups sugar
4 eggs
1/2 cup plus 2 ounces buttermilk
1/2 cup plus 2 ounces brewed coffee
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Milk Chocolate Ganache, recipe follows
Chocolate Ribbon, recipe follows
Special equipment: 10-inch springform pan
Directions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Butter and flour a 10-inch springform pan.
Sift the flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt 3 times, set aside. Cream the butter with the sugar until light and fluffy. Add the eggs 1 at a time beating well after each addition.
Combine the buttermilk, coffee and vanilla extract.
Mix in 1/3 of the dry ingredients, then half the wet ingredients. Repeat with the remaining dry and wet ingredients, finishing with dry. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake for 1 hour, until a skewer inserted in the middle of the cake comes out clean. remove the cake from the pan after 15 minutes. Cool completely. Cut the cake into 2 layers.
Sandwich whipped ganache between the 2 layers and spread more ganache on the top and sides of the cake. Wrap the chocolate covered acetate around the cake, chocolate side in, overlapping the ends slightly. Refrigerate the cake until the chocolate in the ribbon has set. Carefully remove the acetate before serving.
Milk Chocolate Ganache:
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 pound milk chocolate, finely chopped
In a medium pot over high heat bring the cream to a boil. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate. Stir rapidly until all the chocolate has melted and the mixture is a smooth even color. Cool to room temperature stirring occasionally. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Whip the ganache in a chilled bowl until stiff peaks form, see Cook's Note*.
* Cook's Note: Do not over whip as the ganache may split.
Chocolate Ribbon:
5 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
Special Equipment: 21/2-inch wide acetate ribbon, see Cook's Note*.
Cut a piece of 2 1/2-inch wide acetate ribbon long enough to wrap around the cake completely. Lay the acetate on a flat surface and spread the chocolate evenly over the entire surface using an offset spatula.
Carefully lift the acetate, chocolate side towards the cake, and wrap it around, lightly pressing it to the side of the cake. Work quickly; the chocolate should still be sticky when wrapped around on the cake. Refrigerate the cake until the chocolate in the ribbon has set.
* Cook's Note: Acetate ribbon is a medium gauge clear plastic often used for cake decorating and chocolate work. Sold in rolls, it can be found in baking supply stores.
Devil's Chocolate cake
This recipe gives you a lovely sponge cake, to make the chocolate version which is what we did use cocoa powder with your flour.
For the sponge:
6 oz of flour ( substitute 1oz flour for 1oz of cocoa powder)
6oz of butter
6oz of caster sugar
1 %26amp; 1/2 tsp of baking powder
3 eggs
For the topping:
Double cream (I don't have measurements, I just pour :) )
Dark chocolate, the higher the cocoa content the better
A knob of butter (optional)
Method
1) To begin it is better to get the frosting out of the way as it takes a long time to set properly. Place a bowl over a pot of simmering water. Pour in your double cream and break up your chocolate and allow to melt while stirring. Once melted take off the heat and set to the side to cool down.
2) Sieve your flour and cocoa powder, add the sugar, baking powder and butter then mix together with a blender. Beat your eggs together and whizz into the mixture. Once combined you will have a very thick batter so add approximately a cup of water slowly until you get a loose batter.
3) Grease your cake tin and line with greaseproof paper before lightly greasing again. Then pour in your cake mixture, banging it onto your workspace to release any air bubbles and to help level it out.
4) Bake at 190 degrees for 45 mins, do not be tempted to look inside or your cake will fall. Once the time is up, test that it is cooked by inserting a toothpick. If clean it is cooked, in fairness I never do this, I just take it out and so far so good. Take it out of the cake tin, remove the greaseproof paper and allow to cool on a wire tray. I made two of these cakes recently and one mistake I made was attempting to cut the cake for icing before it was ready. Once you leave to cool for a sufficient time, ie, so that it is actually cool, it will make cutting it easier and it won't break like mine did. The second cake I made cut perfectly.
5) Now for the frosting, hopefully by this stage it has cooled sufficiently so that you can form some peaks in it. Cut across your cake making a top and bottom layer, and smear some of the frosting along the bottom, before sandwiching the top layer onto the bottom.
6) Then smear your frosting all over the top of the cake. Once you have it covered then you can make little swirls and because the chocolate frosting has nearly set, they will stay put. This gorgeous, hard to feck up (though it is possible as I've said) cake will last for a couple of days in an air-tight container. The reality is the cake doesn't last that long as it is too yummy and gets eaten.
Substitute sour cream for water on any commerical box brand cake mix. Works well with brownie mix too. To Devil dog cake, use 2 pkgs of instant pudding mix your choice of flavor to 1 qt. heavy cream. Whip till peaks form. Pipe or spread filling on cake. whala.

Yes, add lots of salt. But since that is unhealthy, add a pinch of salt when mixing (no other salt) and once baked, wait for it to cool and freeze it.

2 1/2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
DIRECTIONS
Cream together confectioner's sugar and butter. Add vanilla, cinnamon and almonds.
Knead in flour by hand until completely mixed.
Chill dough for about an hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets.
Roll out dough to one inch thickness. Cut into 1 inch pieces, and roll quickly and gently into a ball. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Bake for about 15 minutes.
When baked, dip or roll in confectioner's sugar. Store airtight in layers with waxed paper in between.
Petie Fours are the same as any other cake, just covered in fondant to make it look better, nothing super fancy.
Honestly,even if your going small with the wedding,unless you have good experience or practice I wouldn't attempt a wedding cake. Even I am not that brave. :)
However if you still want to try it, try a cooking class,baking and pastry arts,maybe for a project you could make a wedding cake,this way you have someone to help you and not just be out on your own. Weddings are stressful enough.
