Cupcake Week! day 4: carrot cake!!!

I have been really good about not eating more than 1 of the cupcakes that I make. Of course I taste the batter and icing numerous times, but that's for research purposes of course. I have to make it taste just right. But then came, day 4: carrot. cake. This is my weakness. This is my favorite flavor of all time. I usually request carrot cake for my birthday cake, even though it's in December and not in season. Anyway, let's just say I ate A LOT more than 1 cupcake. I'll have to pay for this at the gym.

The recipe I used is my mom's/Mawgie's recipe. No problems with this one!

Using my Tupperware to get the carrot chopped up finely.

Victornox vegetable peeler I bought in Switzerland. A staple tool in my kitchen.

TA DA! I had a lot of extra batter so I made mini cupcakes, too. Aren't they cute?

I took the cupcakes over to my friend Jessica's house for "Margarita Thursday." They were welcomed warmly.

Pop quiz: I use a secret ingredient to inhance the cinnamon flavor. Any guesses as to what it is???
