Carrot Cake Cupakes

It was my best friend's birthday this week! In honor of her birthday I made Carrot Cake Cupcakes from Cupcake Project. Not only did these end up tasting amazing but they smell heavenly :)

N00bie Status Tips: First off I used walnuts instead of raisins because I hate raisins. Second, I don't think coconut oil exists....I even checked 3 separate stores. So instead I used 1/4 cup Walnut Oil and 1/4 tsp of coconut extract. The cake and frosting were very easy to make. The candied carrots on the other hand...they are very very sticky! And I put mine in the oven for 30 minutes like it says and they came out too dry. So I couldn't curl mine. Instead I broke them up and placed them on top of the cupcakes.

For My Serial Readers: I am nearly half way done with Wolves of the Calla I swear! I'm 60 pages away, so hopefully tomorrow I'll have a post up. Lots of referencing to Stephen King's book 'Salem's Lot which I have not read yet...so a little confusing haha.

Leftovers Question: What do you do with leftover Walnut Oil???
