Rudolph The Red Nose Reindeer (Carrot) Cupcakes Recipe


If you take away the button eyes, sparkly nose and chocolate antlers, then really this is just your basic carrot cake with cream cheese icing - that is delicious year round!
I absolutely love this recipe and whenever I make it the cupcakes never last very long. They are pretty lightweight but because of the extra water in the carrot they stay all (I despise this word) moist.
I took these ones in to share with my friends at work and they were a huge hit. They definitely made everyone feel festive and jolly. I hope you love them as much as we did.
