“Carrot Cake”
What have you been working on?


What I’ve been working on,
Budd’s Bunny’s Favorite Cupcake
(Carrot Cake Cupcakes)
Hello Everyone!
Thanks for stopping by today to see what’s cooking. Today I’d like to share a recipe for Carrot Cake
Cupcakes. A lot of people might consider this a ‘spring’ recipe, associated with Easter. To me, however,
it’s always been a fall recipe since it’s the cake my brother always requests as his birthday cake. Since his
birthday is in October…..
I usually make this as a single layer (9×9) cake, this time I decided to make it as cupcakes. Since I was
making this for a family gathering where some people would appreciate the infused nature of the
cupcakes and others would not, I chose to make cupcakes so some could be infused and others not. I
actually made the recipe twice, once with infused ingredients and once without. I put a dot of green
icing on the infused version so they would be easy to idenƟfy. I had originally planned to draw a
cannabis leaf on the top of the infused cupcakes, but my decoraƟng skills weren’t up to the task.
The recipe includes two infusions; one is the infused mayonnaise the other is the cannasugar in the
recipe. Feel free to use only one infusion for a less potent edible. If you want a stronger
could also use cannabutter in the frosting. Be warned, however, the frosƟng will have a very cannabis-
forward flavor since there aren’t many other ingredients to add addiƟonal flavor.
This recipe will make a dozen cupcakes. It will also make a single 9X9 layer cake. For a double layer (8 or
9 inch) cake or a 9X13 cake, just double the recipe.
