Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting are a moist perfectly flavored carrot cake recipe, topped with a luscious cream cheese frosting.

Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting

While making these beautiful and might I say moist and delicious Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting I flipped on the T.V. and Somethings Gotta Give was playing. Besides laughing out loud (I am a really loud laughter) I also had to keep wiping the drool off my chin.  I love that house.

I mean really if you were going to have a beach house, wouldn’t it be that one.

Wouldn’t  you want that adorable french grocery store that you could travel to, to buy your grocery’s and wouldn’t you want to speak french while you ordered your pastries?  I mean really is that too much to wish for?  I didn’t think so….

I’m going to go eat my cupcakes and dream away….
