At Winn Dixie, I sometimes (a few times a year) get a SLICE of their carrot cake. Equally amazing, with a tangy cream cheese frosting, actual shredded carrots and if I remember right, it has crushed walnuts in it too. Worth the $4 indulgence a few times a year.

For anything else, I bake my own, using a Betty Crocker or Duncan Hines devil's food or vanilla cake mix, and my grandmother's corn starch chocolate frosting recipe (which turns out to be the recipe off the back of an Argo corn starch box, but she claimed it was hers. She also cheated at Gin Rummy.)
That’s hilarious. Thanks for my morning laugh.

My mother did the same thing with Toll House cookies off of the Nestles chocolate chip bag 😊
(She played Scrabble instead)
