Sweet Treats to Love!
Carrot Cake is a dessert that that we make all the time for Easter, and sometimes for random occasions. This time around, we opted for making carrot cake cupcakes instead of an entire cake. Why we love them:
Easy. Cupcakes are fun, easy and are great for feeding a crowd. The flavor. These delightful homemade carrot cake cupcakes are moist and delicious, with just the right amount of spice. Perfectly frosted. Top it all off with some homemade brown sugar frosting, and you’ve got yourself one tasty treat!
Although these cupcakes are a great Easter dessert, they can be enjoyed all year long!

Storing Info
STORE. Frosted carrot cake cupcakes must be stored in an airtight container in the fridge or the cream cheese frosting will go bad. Unfrosted cupcakes can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. FREEZE. Carrot Cake recipes freeze very well. It’s best to freeze them before they have been frosted, but cream cheese frosting freezes well too, so it’s not a problem if they are frosted. Place the cupcakes in an airtight container or heavy-duty freezer bag (taking care to not smash the frosting, if frosted), and store in the freezer for 4-6 months.
