recipe tried and tested on 15th Nov 05
*Hugo turned 2 and Daisy turned 4 on 15th Nov 05. I know, how can two dogs have the same birthdate. But, I can't celebrate one and leave another one out right, so, I just co-joined them and everyone's happy 
It's sad to think that I won't be able to make them a birthday cake this year, I'll be away. So sorry darlings, I'll send u birthday gifts, right?*
I made them Carrot Cake! (ok, I admit it, I'm a carrot cake lover ;))
