Carrot Cake Cupcakes

If I ever make another batch of C-Cake Cupcakes it will be too soon. While these are very delicious, even for you non-carrot cake lovers, homemade carrot cake is the biggest pain in the ass, ever! I have to grate 3 cups of carrots per recipe. In case you didn't catch that, 3 cups! That is so time consuming, especially since I use baby carrots. Regular carrots are fine but because they come to a point they're as equally time consuming as baby carrots. I did get lots of compliments when I tried them out on my guinea pigs at work. I suppose that should make the hard work worth it but I some how ended up making 3 batches of this stuff in like 2 weeks. I should buy stock in baby carrots.
The cream cheese frosting might be one of my new favorite frosting recipes. It wasn't overwhelmingly cream cheesy but it was sweet and had a nice texture. Definitely a recipe I'll be using again. Maybe for Red Velvet? I haven't made that before but you use cream cheese frosting for Red Velvet right? Maybe a lemon cupcake! I'm not a fan of tart deserts but I have a feeling lemon cream cheese cupcakes will be delish! Definitely something tart with the cream cheese, raspberry might be good. I have family coming in this weekend I think I'm going to have to experiment and try these recipes out on them.
