How to make delicious carrots that everyone will eat! Peal and very finely slice a carrot or two. Throw them into a pyrex jug and squeeze in enough honey to coat all sides of the carrots. Give the a bit of a stir to get the coverage. Place some glad wrap over the top but leave a little gap or pike some holes for ventilation.  Microwave for a couple of minutes, careful not to over do it as it will make them very soft. Hard to put a time on it because the amount of carrot and honey is different every time.  When you are satisfied with how it is cooked throw in some sesame seeds and stir through. Serve with what ever else is going :) Yummo!

The video will give a better example of the technique i use to decorate my patty cakes a nd also has my patty cake and icing recipe.
