    Schritt 1
  2. Make the cream cheese frosting

    • In a stand mixer with the paddle attachment, mix the butter and cream cheese on medium speed.
    • Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla, mixing slowly at first so the sugar incorporates, then on medium speed.

  3. Make the candy leaves

    • Let them set completely.
    Schritt 3
  4. Frost the cake

    • Spread the cream cheese frosting over the cooled cake.
    • Keep the frosting cold so it holds its shape when piped.

    • Color part of the frosting orange and pipe carrots with a Wilton 103 tip.
    • Add a drop of brown to the remaining orange for a second shade and pipe more carrots.
    • Place a candy leaf on each carrot.

  6. Chill and slice
