Shredded carrots and coconut are mixed into this easy cupcake batter to get the best flavor!

Here's what you'll need for the frosting:

[{"selector":"#anim-8ceb972a-56c1-45f6-a4aa-01f1d9fe348f","keyframes":{"transform":["scale(1)","scale(1.05)","scale(0.995)","scale(1)"],"offset":[0,0.33,0.66,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1000,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

To get the perfect blank canvas for our little carrot decorations, we make flat-top frosted cupcakes.

Use gel food coloring to color your cream cheese frosting and piping bags fitted with small round tips to make the carrots!

Grate fresh carrots

[{"selector":"#anim-5814430a-820b-4b80-8ed3-e8b6ae19039f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-64c3ccfc-d635-4dfc-9cf1-0d050d6a2659","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-124.61539%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Tip #1 Grate fresh carrots on the small holes of a box grater for optimal results. Pre-shredded carrots are too dry and won't add enough moisture.

Use lots of spice!

[{"selector":"#anim-3b1a1b80-1662-4a8f-82bd-63c0559245ec","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ffb49e1f-92e6-4b64-8d07-73f273f8cbe8","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.5641%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Tip #2 For perfectly balanced carrot cake make sure to use lots of spice! We like cinnamon, ginger, cloves, nutmeg and cardamom.

Pair with cream cheese frosting

[{"selector":"#anim-33ac4a34-5e16-4003-94fa-d9da06989c7f","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-cba596ce-5c3f-4c3d-b9bc-c7e2f4fa8034","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.5641%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Tip #3 These cupcakes aren't overly sweet so cream cheese frosting is the perfect match to make these desserts irresistable!

Make the frosting flat

[{"selector":"#anim-531c061a-ea86-4bea-844a-1f1d15be69a0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6ab3b7b4-5693-4d00-a50c-1594abd9be68","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.5641%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Tip #4 Frost the cupcakes, place them upside down on parchment paper and then freeze for 1 hour. Peel off the parchment paper and you'll have the perfect canvas for decorating!

Use gel food coloring

[{"selector":"#anim-3fc2d374-6f41-466d-88c0-7b0d73306d7a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ca05ef08-53b9-4ee6-a5b0-419a5b173d74","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-122.5641%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Tip #5 To get the best color and consistency, use gel food coloring to color your frosting for the carrot decorations.
