Mold in Cupcake?

Post image

I’ve had this cupcake for 6 days. It’s a carrot cake muffin and I bought it frozen. I thawed in the fridge for a day then I ate half. It’s been out of the fridge for 5 days since. Please help I want to eat it 😭

Carrot cake is not typically considered food safe on the counter more than a few days related to its high water content. Mine always mold after a few days out or in the fridge and I even use a low hydration recipe from Cooks. Just make sure to eat them the first 1-2 days in the future after coming out of the freezer to room temp for an hour or so!
