These are just like a piece of Carrot Cake. Delicious. Pop them in the freezer and you will always have a quick dessert when you need it. My youngest granddaughter likes to have me make cupcakes. She thinks they are just for her. I like to use Marg (Cayman Designs) Recipe #261024 on these and if you want it a traditional Carrot Cake Frosting, throw in some cream cheese to her frosting. Good!
