I’m glad you got to try it! This is absolutely my favorite carrot cake recipe, and I also love how it’s straightforward enough that you can make it over and over again, no problem. It’s always nice to hear about a successful repeat, so thanks for sharing, and good luck with the rest of the baking at home!

Thankyou for changing it – I really appreciate when people aren’t afraid to acknowledge issues. I’m still loving your recipes too! 😀

Hi! Thanks for your honest feedback. I hope you get a chance to read the reply I made to her comment–I really feel that I have a lot to learn about how I phrase what I write, and I would never want to give the impression that I’m supporting a message like body image issues. The vegetable-eating part was what came up in our conversation and I thought it might make a playful segue into the post, but I’m still learning to be chary about how I portray these things!

Oops–apparently the beginning got cut off–but it said thank you!

–and thought-provoking–comment. It really struck a chord with me, and I want to say that I hope you weren’t offended or think that kind or statement is representative of my views. It just goes to show that I still have a lot to learn about being conscientious in my writing. I definitely did not mean to endorse any negative messages on subjects that I know are sensitive. I hope you won’t take a novice’s lapse as a taint on the rest of my writing, and again, I appreciate the insight! (I’ve updated the post a bit to reflect those thoughts, too, in case that’s of iinterest.)

Oh, I see you also designed your brownies/arguments task around this topic. That’s a shame. As an aspiring teacher myself I was really enjoying the way you used baking as an analogy for writing, but I can’t support the message you present about fatness and fat people. I hope that you find something to chew on (pardon the pun! :P) in Ragen’s brilliant blogging.
