In my contg. search for the carrot cakes in cinnamon pastry, I discovered the following on egullet. Someone added the caramel pecan filling to the carrot cake and the 2 icing recipes more choice to top your carrot cake with.

Caramel Pecan Filling

2 C. brown sugar (I use dark)

1/2 C. A/P flour, sifted

1/2 tsp. salt

1-1/2 C. milk (cream, if preferred)

1/2 C. unsalted butter

1-1/2 - 2 C. nuts, chopped

1 tsp. vanilla

Cook, stirring frequently, all ingredients (except nuts) on stovetop at low-medium heat approximately 20-30 minutes, or until creamy and smooth. Cool to room temperature, then stir in chopped nuts. I would not recommend refrigerating.

Lemon Cream Cheese Frosting

½ cup softened butter

1 cup powdered sugar

16 oz. cream cheese

3 tablespoons lemon juice

Beat together until smooth

White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting

1 cup softened butter

16 oz. cream cheese

12 oz. white chocolate

Melt the white chocolate and cool until lukewarm. Beat the butter and cream cheese until well mixed. Stir in the melted chocolate and beat until fluffy.
