In Germany you are expected to host a brunch / bring a cake into work on your big day. A birthday celebration here has pretty much the opposite guest/host dynamic of a birthday celebration in the US; if you don't plan on picking up the check be careful about asking people out for your birthday.
This summer I doubled this great recipe from Whole Foods for carrot cake and for goodness knows what - ambitious? crazy? naive? - reason decided to triple it this time. In cake making, apparently, three is way more than two; each layer took over 1.5 hours to bake. It was an emotional ride. Thankfully it is uber tasty... super moist and chunky.
We love carrot cake so much we had a carrot wedding cake (with lots of delicious cream cheese frosting - see below yummmy terror).
