CANDIED CARROT CURLS
These edible ribbons of candied carrots add a touch of whimsy to this stunning carrot layer cake. The secret to the 'spring' in their step is an everyday kitchen utensil: a wooden spoon! While the carrot strips are still warm from being candied in the oven, wrap them around the spoon handle to create perky spiralized toppers for cakes and cupcakes.

Steps:
- Peel carrots into thin strips. In a saucepan, bring sugar and 3/4 cup water to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Stir in carrots; reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until very soft, about 20 minutes. Let cool in syrup 10 minutes. Drain.
- Preheat oven to 225°F. Arrange strips in a single layer on a wire rack set inside a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until tacky but no longer wet, 30 to 40 minutes.
- Working quickly, spiral carrots around the handle of a wooden spoon (or your finger), and sprinkle with sugar to coat. (If strips harden before you curl them, bake for a few minutes to re-soften.) Let stand on a wire rack until crisp and dry, about 1 hour.

Steps:
- Using a mandoline, slice carrots lengthwise into 1/8-inch-thick strips and set aside.
- In a small stockpot, combine 4 cups sugar and 2 cups water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil, brushing the sides of the saucepan with cold water to prevent the sugar from crystallizing. Add carrots and reduce the heat to medium. Cook until carrots are translucent, about 25 minutes.
- In another small stockpot, combine the remaining 3 cups sugar with 1 cup water. Place over high heat, and bring to a boil, brushing the sides of the saucepan with cold water to prevent the sugar from crystallizing. When the sugar has completely dissolved, remove from heat. Use a slotted spoon to transfer candied carrots from the syrup in which they boiled to this new sugar syrup. Let stand until completely cooled; discard the old syrup. Transfer carrots and new sugar syrup to an airtight container and store, refrigerated, up to 3 days.

Steps:
- Peel layers from carrot lengthwise on one side with peeler until you begin to get wide slices. Peel wide strips, reserving them, until you get about 15 (there will be a few extra).
- Bring water and sugar to a boil in a small heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar has dissolved. Add wide carrot strips and simmer, uncovered, 15 minutes. Strain through a sieve into a bowl, discarding syrup. Let stand 15 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 225°F with rack in middle.
- Line a large baking sheet with nonstick liner, then arrange candied carrot slices flat in 1 layer on sheet. Bake until dry but still flexible, about 30 minutes. (Leave oven on.) Wind carrot strips, 1 at a time, around end of handle of a wooden spoon in a loose spiral, then slip off each curl and return, seam sides down, to lined baking sheet.
- Return curls to oven to dry until crisp, 30 to 45 minutes more. Cool completely on baking sheet.

- Use a peeler to peel wide strips of carrots. You may need to discard several strips before the strips become wide. They will get wider as you go and it's OK if they aren't all the exact same width and length. There should be about 30 strips.
- In a small saucepan on high heat, bring lemon juice, water, and sugar to a boil, stirring until sugar has dissolved.
- Remove from the heat and strain out liquid. (The liquid can be discarded, but I like to save it to sweeten drinks. It is also really good to use as part of a sauce for a lemony chicken dish.)

- To prepare cake: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 9-inch round cake pans with cooking spray. Line the bottoms with parchment paper.
- Stir flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a medium mixing bowl. Whisk eggs, 1 1/4 cups sugar, buttermilk, oil and 1 teaspoon vanilla in a large bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients; stir until just blended. Stir in shredded carrots. Divide the cake batter between the prepared baking pans.
- Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Let cool for 5 minutes in the pan on a wire rack. Loosen the edges and invert the cakes onto cooling racks. Peel the parchment off the tops of the cakes and let cool completely, about 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, to prepare filling: Combine pineapple and 1 tablespoon sugar in a small saucepan; bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to maintain a simmer, cover and cook until the pineapple is very soft, about 15 minutes. Crush the pineapple with a potato masher and cook, uncovered, until most of the liquid is reduced, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in lemon juice. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
