I’m not sure if Baker’s Square is a Michigan thing or not but it was a restaurant that I remember getting all of our pies and cakes from as a child. I’m honestly not even sure if they’re open any longer? Anywho, if you DO remember Baker’s Square, then you remember how good their baked goods were. This carrot cake recipe tastes EXACTLY like Baker’s Square, if not better. There’s a ton of prep time involved in this due to having to shred each carrot, but totally worth it. Yes, you can buy carrots already shredded but I swear it doesn’t have the same effect. Be sure to send me your pics on IG if you give this recipe a try.
