Carrot Cupcakes with Cool Whip Cream Cheese Filling
It was General Conference weekend this week, which for all you non-LDS folk means that all of our major church leaders speak to the entire LDS population via TV and satellite broadcast. They speak on spiritual topics and it’s always an amazing time to feel close to God but also reflect on what I can do better. And after it’s over I have more resolve to be a better mom, friend, wife, sister, daughter, and member of the Church.
It’s also a great time because we get together with lots of family and have huge dinners. It’s seriously like a pre-Thanksgiving. And I’m not kidding because I had two turkey dinners yesterday: one for lunch and one for dinner. And I was in charge of making dessert. I thought it would be a great occasion to make some carrot cupcakes with Cool Whip cream cheese frosting.
These are very easy, very fast, and impressive to look at! The best kind of desserts. First you make the cake and I just used a carrot cake mix. After they have completely cooled off, I just used a spoon to dig out a little hole out of each cupcake.
To fill the cupcakes, I spooned the cream cheese frosting into a ziplock baggy and cut off the corner. Then I squeezed some cream cheese into each hole and then a little on top. Then I shaved a little carrot onto the top to make it pretty. Easy as that!
You can find the new Cool Whip cream cheese frosting at Walmart, in the frozen section right next to the Cool Whip.
They have other flavors too: chocolate and vanilla.
And while you’re at Walmart you can pick up the cake mix too. Check out the rest of my shopping trip on Google+
And then once you’re done making them, you get to serve them and watch your cute little family enjoy!

These look so yummy — I can barely wait for the weekend to arrive to be able to whip some up for the family. Be blessed!
Thanks! Good luck!
Heidi,
I don’t know how you do everything you do. You are AMAZING!!!
You haven’t steered my wrong yet. I have tried the Basketweave Quilt (with my granddaughter this past summer), now I am off to Walmart for the ingredients of these wonderful looking cupcakes. We just finished the Pumpkin Roll I made a couple of days ago. What a great way to spend the Fall season, baking & Quilting!!
My best to you and yours,
Sandy
Aw, thanks!! What a great comment. Hopefully the other things you try work out too!
