Carrot Cake Cupcakes {Cream Cheese Frosting}

I made your lovely festive carrot cupcakes included with that amazing white cream cheese frosting! They came out beautifully & were very easy to devour too! Perfect little cupcakes….these are incredible!!  It was delicious. The entire family loved it. It was pretty easy.

These are the moistest, most delicious Carrot Cake Cupcakes that I have ever had! They have a little crunch from toasted walnuts and the perfect hint of cinnamon! Topped with an impossibly creamy cream cheese frosting and an adorable baby marzipan carrot!
