Ingredients

10 cups shredded carrots
2 cup raisins
2 cups org. brown sugar
4 cups WW pastry Flour
4 cup white flour
8 tsp cinnamon
3 tsp. baking soda
3 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
2 cup chopped walnuts
3 cups org. sugar
10 organic eggs
2 Tbs. vanilla
2 cups org. canola oil
2 cups apple sauce

Directions
In a large bowl, mix the shredded carrots with the brown sugar and raisins, and set aside, letting it marinate while mixing everything else. In another bowl, combine the flours, cinnamon, baking soda and powder, and salt together. Mix well. Add the chopped walnuts. In a third bowl, whisk together the eggs with the sugar until it’s a light yellow in color. Add the oil, apple sauce and vanilla, and mix. Add the wet ingredients to the dry. Mix well. Add in the carrots and raisins, and mix until evenly distributed.

Bake at 350 until done. The 2 smaller layers will take approximately 50 minutes, and the largest layer will take about 65 minutes, but keep checking. The cake will pull away from the sides, as it gets done, and a knife inserted into center will come out dry. Cool on racks for 10 minutes. Invert cakes and remove from pan, let cool completely before frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting
4 lbs cream cheese
¾ cup half and half
1 cup honey
2-3 cups confectioners sugar, depending on sweetness desired
4 Tbs. pure vanilla extract

Directions
In a stand-up mixer or food processor, combine all of the ingredients, until smooth. Add more sweetener or vanilla, according to your taste.

To Assemble
Slice each layer horizontally, to create 2 layers of each size. Using a round piece of clean cardboard, or improvise with a plate or large round spatula, separate the two layers. Frost the middle, and put the layer back together. Repeat with the other 2 layers.
Frost the top and sides of each layer.
Either stack the 3 layers together, decorate with flowers, and serve that way, or you can purchase wedding cake infrastructure, complete with plastic columns and dowels, and construct a wedding cake that has space between each layer for decorating with flowers.
