Carrot Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting | Recipe

Today I baked carrot cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and they were so delicious that I had to share the recipe with you guys on my blog. In actual fact, the cupcakes are 100% vegan because we ran out of eggs and so I used mashed banana as a substitute (I literally googled egg substitute and mashed banana came up....it's an oddly brilliant idea) but the cream cheese frosting is definitely not vegan. 

I found the recipe on a baking blog which I will link below and I'll include the changes I made down there also. I will admit, my cupcakes don't look half as good as the pictures I was going off, especially the cream cheese frosting which was a bit of a flop but hey, I tried! 

CUPCAKE RECIPE HERE

Changes made:

- Rather than using two eggs, I mashed up one large banana and used this instead.
- I added 3/4 cup of sultanas

Tip: The cupcakes are a lot nicer when left in the fridge for a few hours

Let me know if you end up baking this recipe and any suggestions on what to bake next! :)

My 11 questions to answer:

1. what's your favourite music genre? I'm an all rounded girl but I'm currently loving a lot of Indie and Pop music. 
2. if you had to pick ONE item if you were on a desert island, what would it be? My mobile phone to contact people with... here's hoping there's reception! 
3. most worn makeup product? Ohh, that's a tough one. I suppose it'd be my boring yet necessary MAC primer because no matter what foundation is going on my face...primer is always the beginning! 
4. favourite M.A.C. product? That would 100% have to be my MAC lustre lipstick in 'Bare Again'. A makeup artist by MAC used it on my lips before one of my Year 12 formals at school and I've been obsessed with it ever since! I actually just repurchased another one a few days ago as I ran out. 
5. dog or a cat person? Dog. For sure.
6. who is your celebrity crush? Oh boy, where do I start? I love Douglas Booth, such a babe. If I could steal someone's looks however, I'd steal Selena Gomez's or Miranda Kerr's...stunning! 
7. what camera do you use for your Blog? I'd love to say that I use my good Nikon D7000 SLR camera but if I did, I'd be lying. More often than not I find myself using my iPhone camera because I struggle to find macro on the good camera for shallow depths of field/close ups! Maybe that should become a resolution...start using my good camera for better photos.
8. do you have a YouTube channel? LETS FOLLOW EACH OTHER I actually do have a YouTube channel but I haven't started putting beauty videos up on it yet...but I really want to! I did actually attempt to film a Lush haul the other day except my silly camera cut out after 20 minutes. Sad face. Regardless, you can check it out if you please! It does have some gymnastics and horse riding videos on it. Click HERE to find my YouTube channel. 
9. favourite TV show? Heartland; horses, drama and cute boys... what more could you want? 
10. can you drive? Ha ha, no. My friends always laugh at me for being so slack when it comes to driving so I should really get on to that! I live in the city with a heap of public transport and haven't really felt the urge to start learning but I plan on starting very soon. 
11. your favourite clothing item in your wardrobe? Currently it's a simple black, seamless singlet from Miss Shop. So cheap, so comfy, no seams, easy wash and soft material...I actually went back and bought another two in the exact same colour.
