BBC Good Food Carrot Cake and my Brother's 24th

Happy 24th to my brother. 

Was in a dilemma, not knowing what to bake for my brother's birthday and he requested for a carrot, so a carrot cake it shall be. 

My brother has been away from home for an exchange programme in Scotland for 6 months, and while he was there, he attended a cooking class that taught them how to bake carrot cakes, so he came back, probably craving for that taste and so i decided to bake one on request.

Got this recipe from BBC Good Food Carrot Cake and added 200g of carrots instead of 140g. 

The frosting recipe is alittle weird, 2 table spoonful of orange juice can never make even a stiff royal icing, put as much as you deem is enough, don't have to follow the recipe FOR THE FROSTING.

Hauls from Europe from my bro to me. 

      

Chopin Vodka from Poland

                                                            Lemon Curd from Harrods UK, London.

Considering how little things my brother bought back, I feel lucky that he actually bought quite a few items for me, some upon request and some on his own.
