Last night we had an early christmas celebration with the family, so I decided to make some carrot cake cupcakes from scratch (with cream cheese icing)! The recipe was great and they turned out perfect! However, if you like your carrot cake to be a bit spicier you could add some nutmeg or allspice, as this recipe only called for cinnamon. Voila!

Here's the link to the recipe.
