Mos Zests

After what can only be described as the wedding of the year on Saturday, today (2 days later I may add) I still felt pretty vulnerable and baking was the only thing that was gonna get me through the morning. However a massive congratulations to my best friend Liz Holt who married the love of her life and the fat ox that is Steve Bega at the weekend, I'm not even being biased in saying that she was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen and everything about the day was perfect. It was a shame I managed to go from refined playa to falling over on the dance floor and passing out face in a pizza by the end of the night but hey your best friend only gets married once.

So I decided to whip up a treat for the Size? playas tomorrow and  went for a classic zesty carrot cake with a cream cheese topping. Mos Def got it right on these bad boys...''Is Sugar and Spice all you made of?''..Damn straight alongside a few other ingredients thrown in the mix you'll have yourselves your very own ''Mos Zests''.

I actually tried to make these last week and freestyled some recipes resulting in another hip flop bake off so this morning in my vulnerable state I stuck very closely to a BBC good food recipe which you can find here. So obviously its pretty essential you have the tunes on for this as you spend most of the time waiting for them to cook which gives a perfect window for a rap off or practicing your best Beyonce dance, don't stoop to a Miley twerk.

 I should really go for something a little less cliche but this track is ULTIMATE Playa status..
