Amazing Carrot Cupcakes with Sweet Orange Frosting

In my family we are always baking. We love to try out all the different recipes we have! I thought I would share with you, one of the family favorites. Here is our Amazing Carrot Cupcakes with Sweet Orange Frosting.

Okay you guys seriously, do you remember being a little kid and thinking how gross carrot cake was? I’m pretty sure grandmas only ate it, until now. My little kids actually like this recipe, I am not sure maybe it’s the frosting? I will admit I’m a sugar addict. So guaranteed I will be eating these even when I am a grandma and I’m going to convince my grand-kids, that these are the most Amazing Carrot Cupcakes with Sweet Orange Frosting ever!

I’m happy to report that Daisy did not get my cupcakes this time. Many of you probably remember that she ate my cupcakes from my last post, read it here.

If you like this style, we’ve been adding products to our farmhouse section on Hallstrom Home. We have cake stands, wood bead garlands, vintage finds, and hand painted items.

Of course I have to show you guys my fave vanilla bean paste! It is way better than extract, you won’t regret your purchase!! Also check out all of my favorite kitchen products here.
