I just did for Easter due to the fact I needed it to crust. I was kind of worried about the buttercream not being the traditional way to go, but it didn't effect the taste at all. I thought about making the filling a cream cheese icing, but ended up not wanting the extra work. I was pleased with the buttercream though so it didn't matter either way.

i think buttercream is just as rich, just a different flavor. all personal preference of the person eating it.

Just don't use any almond for your flavoring....... beleive me when I say, it doesn't go well with carrot cake.....

I used buttercream on a spice cake I did for Halloween. I was worried too because it usually has a cream cheese icing on it. I know it's not carrot, but it's similar. It was actually quite tasty. I liked it better with the buttercream.

Do it all the time. Also on red velvet. Rarely use cream cheese icing on anything.
