What You Need

1 package carrot cake mix, prepared as directed on box
1 cup raisins
1 can cream cheese frosting
yellow, red & green food coloring
sweetened, shredded coconut

Prepare the carrot cake mix as directed on the box. Stir 1-cup raisins into the batter. Bake cupcakes and cool completely before frosting. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese frosting on each cupcake.

For Grass on Cupcakes: Mix one cup coconut and 5 drops green food coloring together until the coconut is completely tinted. Dip each cupcake into the coconut, covering the entire surface.

For Carrots: Tint 1/2 c. cream cheese frosting with yellow and red food coloring until a bright orange color is achieved. Add icing to a plastic baggie, creating an icing bag. Snip 1/8 in. off one corner of the baggie. Pipe a carrot shape onto the coconut on each cupcake. Refer to the picture for an example of how the carrots should look.

For Carrot Tops: Tint 1/4 c. cream cheese frosting with green food coloring. Add icing to a plastic baggie creating an icing bag. Snip the very tip off one corner of the baggie. Pipe icing on top of carrot.

Store cupcakes in a sealed container. Cupcakes, without frosting, can be frozen. Defrost before frosting.
