Carrot Cake

It would be a poor reflection of my typical diet if one of the first three (substantive) entries didn't focus on a dessert. So here we are.



WITHOUT RED PEPPER

What we have here is your typical store-bought carrot cake with extra cream cheese frosting and sprinkles. For those who wish to re-create the experience at home, the store was Albertson's, the frosting was Pillsbury Creamy Supreme, and the sprinkles were both colorful and plentiful. As store-bought cakes go, this one wasn't bad. It also had the advantage of functioning as a birthday cake, which imbues it with +2 deliciousness.

WITH RED PEPPER

Here's the thing. My hypothesis was that this experience would be unpleasant. Not burning-to-death-in-a-flaming-dirigible unpleasant, but not the sort of thing I would enjoy. It defied this expectation. In a positive way, I must add. There's something to this "spicy and sweet" combination. Science should get on this. No, I don't care that they have better things to do. Have video gamers do that other stuff - this is the TOP PRIORITY!

THE VERDICT

Not better with red pepper, but not worse either. It's a different dessert. In fact, someone ought to bake a carrot cake with the red pepper baked into it. I would pay money for that product. (NOTE: This is not unilateral contract, nor is it an offer of any kind.)

Is carrot cake "Better With Red Pepper"?
	Yes! BETTER WITH RED PEPPER!
	No, but no worse either.
	No; it's a step in the wrong direction.
	No! It's like that fiery-death-by-dirigible thing you mentioned!
