Maple Carrot Cupcakes
Lisa Ann Dinunzio
"I COME from a family of cooks and was inspired to cook and bake ever since I was young. Mother and Grandmom were always in the kitchen cooking up something delicious. This recipe is handed down from Grandmom and is always requested at special gatherings. -Lisa Ann DiNunzio, Vineland, New Jersey"
