PUMPKIN SPICE CUPCAKES WITH CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
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

CARROT CUPCAKE WITH CINNAMON CREAM CHEESE FROSTING
This is a simple carrot cupcake that is moist and great for people who don't like nuts! I use about half a bag of baby carrots and chop them in a food processor.
