In my early early days of trying to ‘find myself’, I tried my hand in becoming a baker. I worked for a short stint as a bakers assistant in a high end grocery store in Menlo Park called Draeger’s. My job was to help with the cakes and pies. This is an adaptation from the carrot cake recipe that was served there.
