I spent yesterday morning baking carrot cake cupcakes for my husband's birthday. I used this recipe (good, maybe a little too sweet) but invented my own cream cheese frosting… an eyeballed mix of cream cheese, butter, powdered sugar, lemon zest and juice and the tiniest smidge of salt to enhance the cream cheese.
Does your frosting ever seem too runny? I let mine chill in the fridge for an hour, which helped it set up and allowed me to pile it on in a big, sweet, fluffy cloud.
What's your favorite birthday treat?
