I hope you all had a fun and Happy Easter! We definitely did, but now we are back to the grind. Although we just had a lot of sweet treats over the weekend, I wanted to kick off this week with these Homemade Carrot Cake Cupcakes! I LOVE carrot cake and to be honest, I don’t make it as often as I would like. But, I also love my cupcakes, so this is a happy medium for me. We’ve done lots of fun cupcakes lately like our Marshmallow Sheep Cupcakes and our Easy Lucky Charms Cupcakes so be sure to check those out too! Now, lets get to this yummy recipe.

What do you think about our Homemade Carrot Cake Cupcakes?? Of course, we went one extra step and made a carrot shape out of green and orange M&Ms. You could also use those candy decorations found in the baking section or just leave them the way they are. However you do them, they are delicious! Shredding the carrots is probably the most difficult part of this recipe, but I used my Ninja with the shredding attachment and was done in no time!
Enjoy!
