Carrot Cake Confusion - Averted

Thank you to all of the people who shared recipes and advice with me, very much appreciated. 

I have made two practice cakes; the first one with vanilla cream cheese frosting and the second with half vanilla/half orange cream cheese frosting.

Here are a few photos of my first ever carrot cake:

I was very encouraged by June's reaction to this cake as she was very anti a cake with vegetables in and she asked for seconds :)

After the taste test tomorrow the cake/frosting combo with the most points (out of 10) will be the one I make for the competition this weekend.
