Carrot Wedding Cake

I remember going to my cousin's wedding, it must have been nearly twenty years ago {which seems crazy!}, but he & his wife had a multi-tiered, cream-cheese frosting-covered, carrot cake.  I was somewhere between of the age of eight - ten & remember thinking, "Carrots in cake?  Cream cheese what? Hmm..." But, I also remember thinking what a really unique wedding cake idea {again, this was almost twenty years ago}.  I took one bite & the rest was history.  I have been an avid carrot cake lover since.  Rich, also an avid fan, & I decided we wanted to have a small carrot cake for us to cut. 

I wanted a small, tiered cake with open layers, & topped with fruit.  Last fall I had the opportunity to work with a wonderful couple from NYC on their wedding invitations, & the wedding is now featured on Martha Stewart Weddings.  They had a stunning array of cakes on display & I fell in love with their carrot cake.  It was just as I had imagined ours.  I then came across the carrot cake topped with golden apples, which would be appropriate for fall as well.  I love the dripping caramel.  This is making me wish I had a big slice o' cake waiting for me when I get home...

Hi, I absolutely love the top Carrot cake with Figs. Now all I have to do is find someone to make it for us!

I'm thinking for 40 people, we'll need about a 12" cake, but then this one does look quite large with those 2 layers (guessing it's cream cheese frosting in the middle)
