I made a carrot cake with brown sugar cream cheese frosting. I stored it in the refrigerator as instructed because it was cream cheese. When I went to pull it out last night there were cracks all over the frosting. I was wondering if anyone would know why this happened so I can avoid it the next time.

I had this happen a few times and was told it was from not having enough support. I now double my cake circles if the cake is heavy and haven't had the problem anymore.

Sometimes the icing cracks because it begins to dry out. When I worked at the hotel we sometimes had problems if it wasn't covered properly. Put it in the fridge and once it has crusted over place cling wrap ontop, that wayit won't ruin your design.
Just a thought.
