Carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting

I have prepared these cupcakes for my son’s birthday and this year was his 10’th anniversary (yes, they do grow very fast). Usually, when organizing birthday parties I have noticed that cupcakes are a real success and that’s why I chose to bake some for my son. Despite this, I do have to mention that I am obsessed with cupcakes and I enjoy baking. With experience comes perfection and I must say that consider myself a professional even in decoration. Now, with modesty apart I am writing down the recipe so you can try it and hopefully enjoy it☺

Do not over mix!;Use an ice cream scoop to fill ¾ of the cupcake hole and bake for approx. 40 min or until golden brown.;Frosting:Put all the frosting ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix until creamy. Add more icing sugar if you prefer it sweeter, but I must say that too much sugar will make the frosting very stiff and grainy.;Split the cream cheese frosting in 2 or three small bowls and add different food colours to make the frosting pretty ☺.;it is important to mention that the cupcake decoration should be done after the cupcakes are properly cooled and right before eating in order to prevent soggy cupcakes.[/lt_recipe]
