We had some leftover icing from when we made our cinnamon swirls so I thought instead of it going to waste I would use it for another recipe! Now if you don’t want to add the cream cheese frosting to these carrot cakes you totally don’t have to they taste delicious without!
These Carrot Cake Bites are the perfect snack anytime of day! They are filling and full of flavour! My family loved them and have requested I make them again!
