Carrot Cake...the world's best air freshner.

I met my new manager at my part-time job, and she was totally cool, and she found out that I liked to bake for the office.  She mentioned that she liked cream cheese frosting. I told her that I would make her carrot cake, if I would be her favorite employee, she laughed, close enough...I made her cake.  I am not a big cake maker, but I love me some carrot cake, and love the cream cheese frosting the best...and I have to test it a lot....I mean a lot...just to make sure it is perfect!!!  :)
