“This is the second recipe I have followed from Preppy Kitchen. The instructions, additional tips, and pictures made this Carrot Cake Roll recipe so easy to follow. I have never attempted a cake roll but took this on because John's instructions were very clea” — a cook, 5.0★
“Fantastic recipe, it came out perfect! I didn't see the oil in the body of the instructions, so I added it in step 3. In the Northeast, so of course I added some local maple syrup to the frosting. Thanks” — a cook, 5.0★
