These delightful cupcakes are great as soon as they've cooled, but their carrot-cake moistness and hint of spice really come through the day after they're baked.

Cooks' note:

Cupcakes, without Garnish, can be made and iced 1 day ahead, then kept in 1 layer in an airtight container at room temperature.
