I wonder who was the first person to look at a carrot and think: Cake! Who first discovered the beautiful synergy of a spiced loaf studded with moist orange shreds, smeared with tangy cream cheese frosting? I'd like to shake that person's hand.

This week, you shared a few of your favorite carrot desserts—cakes and cupcakes, plus cookies and cookie sandwiches too! Check them all out in the slideshow.

Next Week

We're all gearing up for Thanksgiving around SEHQ, and we bet you are too. Want to give us a little preview of your pie plans? Or help out others who are looking for inspiration? Send us photos your favorite fall pies for next week's roundup, so that we can all focus on the most important part of the Thanksgiving meal (come on, we know you're not in it for the turkey.) Got a pie to recommend? Got a pie that was a huge success last year? Send us photos of pies you've made and loved (along with a link to the recipe!) by Tuesday, November 15, and we'll feature them on Thursday, November 17th.

If you're new to Share Your Sweets, take a peep at the rules here. A few notes: we can only take one submission per person, so pick your favorite (or the most recent shot) and send it in. Also, Share Your Sweets is just for the folks at home; no pros or companies! If you want to really impress us, size your photo so it's 400 pixels tall.

See you next Thursday!
