Carrot Cupcake with Candied Carrot Curls

After baking the Irish Car Bomb cupcakes and seeing how much everyone enjoyed them, I decided to try my hand at some more cupcakes. This time around, something a little bit healthier, carrot cupcakes!

I used this Carrot Cupcake recipe and also made the Candied Carrot Curls for a garnish.

The recipe was a lot simpler than the Irish Car Bomb cupcakes. I personally didn’t really like the recipe, since I prefer my carrot cake light and fluffy. The icing also started to separate after a short time, even when refrigerated which left most of the icing on the bottom of the container I was storing them in, perhaps I added too much orange juice? The icing also left an orange taste in my mouth long after I had finished the cupcake, which wasn’t great :(

    But the icing looks really nice as it’s drizzling down
