Lately I have been a bit obsessed with cupcakes. I am not someone that eats out a lot...but after I finished student teaching I decided to treat myself to a Cocoa Bean cupcake. Their German Chocolate cupcake is my FAVORITE. And their cupcakes are just so cute... I now want my own cupcake cafe ...haha. I decided to look online for a good cupcake recipe and I found one! Carrot cake cupcakes...mmm. I found the recipe on this blog: http://half-bakedbaker.blogspot.com/2011/11/best-ever-carrot-cake-cupcakes.html. The title and the pictures of the cupcakes sold me on the idea. Plus, the recipe used 3 cups of carrots, as well as some pineapple and applesauce so it sounded really legit.
They turned out really good! The cake is dense and not super sweet. But its alright because the frosting really sweetens everything up. I love the frosting recipe! The proportions are just right. I will definitely be using it again in the future.
I don't have any cake decorating stuff at my house so I think the cupcakes turned out pretty good considering. :)
