Carrot Cake Nests
For these Easter cakes I used the Tropical Carrot Cake recipe (down on this page a bit), which is an alteration of Magnolia Bakery's carrot cake recipe. For the frosting I made a batch of cream cheese frosting (2 pkgs lowfat cream cheese, 1 stick unsalted butter, confectioner sugar to taste) with a little vanilla and cinnamon added to it. I then toasted coconut in the toaster oven, dumped it in a bowl, and dipped the frosted cupcakes into the bowl of coconut. I topped them with blue peep chicks and blue candy eggs.

They look gorgeous Posy.
Thank you. Really, this is quite a compliment coming from you. I love your blog(s). Love it.
I know we just spoke on the phone but I'm going to reply anyway. Not really being an expert, I don't know why yours didn't work. I've taken the addition of pineapple juice out of the recipe. I like them moist, but haven't had the not-cooked problem. I've decreased the carrots to what Magnolia recommends too. Hmmm... Maybe our ovens are different? They've been hugely successful when I've made them. They do seem gooey/sticky because of all the good stuff inside, but never uncooked. I dunno. Sorry.
