This is a very eazy adaptation of a cup cake that will taste as thought you made it from scratch from a Carrot Cake Box mix, that will taste home made, moist and picture perfect. Follow the directions on the box, but substitute 1/2 cup of brandy for the water you are asked to use. Add 3/4 cup of golden raisins, 1 cup of grated carrots, 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or pecans and 1 apple grated. Follow instructions on box and mix ingredients together. I use tulip cup cake liners. They are tall and look professional. Fill liners with about 1/2 cup of batter. This recipe makes 12 beautiful cup cakes. Bake at 350 degrees using your convection oven  for 25 minutes. These cup cakes are so moist! To make the icing, just buy ready made  cream cheese icing and mix 8 oz of cream cheese into your icing, mix. Chill and pipe icing on to cup cake!!!  Yummy and very easy, plus you get your veggies in a very sweet way!
