When you think of Spring and cupcakes, what comes to mind? For me, it’s Carrot Cake Cupcakes. I love these decadent cupcakes that are perfect for spring or any occasion.

Carrot Cake Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

These treasures would be a great addition to brunch. You could leave off the cinnamon cream cheese frosting and use them as muffins. You can make them into mini cupcakes and serve them at a tea party. For an easy decoration on top just add some shredded carrots or maybe put an orange M & M on top.
