• Fold the carrots and pecans into the batter.

• Bake for 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

• Allow the tin to sit for 10minute to cool completely before giving the tray a good tap to make the bundts come out.

Cream Cheese Icing:

• In a large mixing bowl with a hand mixer beat the butter on medium speed until smooth.

• Add the cream cheese and beat until fluffy.

• On low speed, gradually add in the powdered sugar. - Use more sugar for a thicker, sweeter frosting.

• Once combined, scrape down the bowl and add the vanilla.

• Beat on medium-low speed until fluffy and easily spreadable, about 1 minute.

For the Assembly:

• You can cut off the bottom of the bundts and pipe some icing and top with nuts and rose petals.

• Or! you can leave it rustic and dip the bundts into the icing and dress with rose petals for a little rolly polly cute carrot moment.
