PUMPKIN SPICE CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING



Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting image

This is a wonderful recipe I discovered and changed a bit to suit my taste. I love the flavor of pumpkin and the cinnamon makes ordinary cream cheese frosting extra special. When I made a batch for my husband to take to work, he said they disappeared in record time. -Debbie Wiggins, Longmont, Colorado
