The most beautiful carrot cake you've ever seen was created by Jason Reaves, pastry chef at Market Salamander in Middleburg, Virginia, for the 2009 Deep Plate exercise.
His torte is made with carrots and oranges and consists of carrot spice cake, orange curd, cream cheese buttercream, candied orange zest, cinnamon, spiced orange gelato, and an oatmeal tuile.
