Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Not many people know this about me but back in the day I was a professional cupcake maker. I made cupcakes every. single. day. Matt was sick of my cupcakes. I was sick of my cupcakes. I think even our dog, Jax, was sick of my cupcakes. As a newly stay at home mom with my first beautiful baby, Jayde, I was looking for something to do as a hobby and cupcake making was it. I decided to turn this hobby into a “business” (I use that term very loosely). “Kayla’s Charming Cupcakes” was born and after a few birthday parties and random orders I decide the cupcake business was not for me after all. But my white folder full of recipes, my tax id # and cost breakdown still lives. I pulled it out the other day and made my carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting. Delicious. Amazing. I mean, slather anything with cream cheese frosting and I’ll eat it. But in all realness, these are really good!
