Designer Desserts: Carrot Cake

The photo above is of Designer Dessert's Carrot Cake Cupcake!

Presentation : 6/10 Sprinkles

This cupcake had a little frosted carrot on top with sprinkled crumbs of carrot cake.  The presentation of this cupcake was elegant and super cute with the edible carrot.

Taste & Texture: 6/10 Sprinkles

Cake:  The cake was a very dry carrot spice cake.  We believe that this is not characteristic of carrot cakes in general so we were a little bit disappointed.

Frosting: The frosting on this carrot cupcake was a regular vanilla buttercream without any coloring except for the carrot on top.

Overall:  

Shauna: 6/10 Sprinkles

Shauna thought the cupcake was good but was not the best carrot cake she has had.  She believes that the frosting could have had more coloring to it in the presentation.  For example, perhaps an orange frosting with a green leaf on top would have had a more creative presentation.

Katrina: 5/10 Sprinkles

Katrina thought that this cupcake was super dry and she loves moist carrot cake.  It left her feeling disappointed and she thought that the cupcake needed more frosting to counterbalance the dryness of the cupcake.
