    These little carrot cake cups are similar to the Valentine's Day Sugar Cookie Cups recipe I shared with you all a while back, but it is actually CAKE instead of sugar cookies this time! 

    Baker's Note: Full disclosure, a box of carrot cake seems impossible to find today! So I used a spice cake, which is delicious, too! Crazy times at the grocery store! The tip I used was 1M.
