Last Christmas I made a carrot cake, and after it was half baked, I remembered that I forgot the cinnamon! After the cake (which turned out beautiful) cooled, I painted the cake with some corn syrup, mixed with the missing cinnamon, added cream cheese frosting, and it was great!! Lucky me. What a nice idea for a save! A lot of pastry shops use simple syrup on their cakes before frosting for an extra flavor kick. Aren't you resourceful! Susan
