March 15: Flash Fiction Challenge
Charli at Carrot Ranch Flash Fiction: March 16, 2018, prompt – In 99 words (no more, no less) write a story about carrot cake. It can be classic or unusual. Why is there cake? How does it feature in the story? Go where the prompt leads.
My husband loves carrot cake. He tries to reduce his sugar intake and he thinks that carrot cake is unlike any other sugary cakes.
Here comes my story:
Carrot CAKE
“What do you want for dessert, Mimi? Do you like carrot cake?”
“Noop! When I want to have dessert, I have dessert.”
“When do you mean? Carrot cake is dessert!”
“See, Nancy. My mom grows carrots. When she makes carrot cake, she is very generous to put triple portions of grated carrots into the cake mix. The cake tastes just like carrots, you know! When I eat cake, I eat cake. When I eat carrots, I eat carrots. I just don’t eat carrot cake.”
“Oh, no wonder, Mimi! Here, try my carrot CAKE that doesn’t have the carrot taste!”

It mightn’t taste the best but it is probably very healthy. Good story

Ha! Extra carrots might not be a good idea, like extra cinnamon or extra nuts. I enjoyed your take on the prompt! Have a lovely time with family!

Carrot cake is certainly very delicious, Miriam, although I am not sure how it would taste if I added three times the carrots [smile].

Hi Miriam. I was not fond of carrots as a child and therefore never ate carrot cake until I was an adult. Now it is one of my favourite cakes. Great story. Kim

Three times the amount of carrots! Not good to meddle with a perfect balance of sugar and spice with carrots. A carrot cake should only reflect carrots through the visual effects of the lovely orange flecks, sort of like food coloring. Haha!
