Roger's Carrot Cake

Once upon a time, there was a rabbit named Roger who loved carrot cake more than anything in the world. He decided to make a carrot cake for his friends' Easter party, but he didn't have any shredded carrots.

Roger was determined to make the cake anyway, so he decided to substitute the carrots with orange crayons! He melted the crayons and mixed them into the batter, hoping it would turn out okay.

When he brought the cake to the party, his friends were surprised to see the bright orange color of the cake. But when they took a bite, they realized something was off. The cake tasted like wax!

Roger was disappointed that his carrot cake didn't turn out, but his friends loved his creativity and they all had a good laugh. From then on, Roger made sure to always have real carrots on hand when making his favorite cake.
