Hi Linda,
ReplyDeleteOMG this looks and sounds so delish. Love that carrot curler. So fun. Have a great week. xoxo Kris
Thanks Kris. it was so good. Happy fall. xoxo
DeleteMan, that looks good! I had "Hawaiian bread pudding" once in Maui and it was very similar to your recipe but used macadamia nuts instead of walnuts. It was so delicious that I went bavk to the restaurant again and had it a second time, LOL! Also, I lust after all things Nordic Ware. But I have never actually bought a pan because then I would bake too much and eat too many carbs, alas. So I just go to a local kitchen store that carries a huge selection of Nordic Ware and spend a while fondling the pans.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra. I bet the Hawaiian version was quite yummy. I can just see you fondling the cake pans. LO
DeleteI want me a carrot curler now! LOL! I have never heard of this dish. Thanks for sharing. Happy Wednesday dear Linda. Hugs and blessings, Cindy

DeleteWhat an impressive looking cake you've made! It is definitely a huge wow to serve up on your table! Your recipe sounds soo good, and while I don't have an impressive Nordic bundt pan, I think it would be fun to make this for my ladies group.
