Realistically, you could put any icing you wanted on a carrot cake. The wonderful beauty of cooking is that you can make it to your liking. But, the traditional icing that most people put on carrot cake is cream cheese icing.
Icing: 1  Flatten each layer of cake by cutting off the domed crust so that the tops are level. 2  Apply a generous amount of taro cream onto the first layer, making sure it is even. 3  Add the second cake on top.  Once staked, cover the cake with the remainder of the butter cream and decorate as you wish.
