For best results, use freshly grated carrots. Pre-shredded carrots tend to be dry. Do not overmix the batter, as this can result in tough cupcakes. Sifting the confectioners' sugar will help to create a smoother frosting. Store frosted cupcakes in the refrigerator. If you want to add nuts, consider using 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans.
