When you want an Easter treat that tastes as good as it looks—and really looks good—make these surprisingly easy carrot cake cupcakes. The secret to their ease is using Betty Crocker™ yellow cake mix as the shortcut base for your batter. Extra spices and carrots are stirred in for an extra flavorful and moist result—like a classic carrot cake in a smaller format. Let yourself get into the springtime spirit as you decorate with Betty Crocker™ Rich & Creamy cream cheese frosting, Great Value™ assorted sprinkles and sugars, followed by crushed chocolate cookie "dirt," and decorative cupcake toppers.
