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.
BUT with cupcakes, I can add in anything I want to a few of them! The carrots on the top are so cute and so fast to make I wanted to tell you how really quick. First, either make your own cream cheese frosting or use canned. If you use canned make sure to add some powdered sugar to thicken it a little. Frost the cupcakes normally. Now divide the rest of the frosting into 2 bowls and color one orange and one green. I like the Wilton Icing Colors you can get at Walmart.
