Carrot cupcake with cream cheese frosting


I don't think I did treasure the luxury of time I have for cooking and baking till I started work. Right now, cooking and baking seemed like far away entities. Weeknights are spent having dinner, relaxing before I fall into deep slumber. Weekends are so precious; I have a whole list of things to do and baking and cooking can be rather time-consuming and tiring. Nonetheless, I hope to squeeze in time for my favourite activities whenever possible.

Now, I shall savour my last effort at baking before the start of work: Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting. I got the recipe off Nigella Lawson's How to be a domestic goddess. After comments on how my burnt butter cupcakes could taste better with cream cheese frosting, I've decided to please everyone by baking these old-time favourites.

I love how the cupcake puffs out. I love that the cupcake alone is not too sweet. I love that the cupcake has extra zesty frosting cause I added an additional lime to the mix. I love and adore my cupcakes!

On another note, I've finished using my pretty, checkered cupcake paper holders. (The ones that I bought from Japan) I knew that I should have gotten more. Then again, my supply will still run out. It's definitely a valid excuse to go back to Japan. To get more adorable cupcake paper holders!

Rows, and rows of cupcakes!
