I made these a few days ago, but well, I've been busy so for those of you that have seen the pictures of these beauties on Instagram...here's the recipe.
Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes
- 1 yellow or spiced cake mix
- 1 package vanilla instant pudding mix
- 1 cup pumpkin purée
- 1/2 cup oil
- 1/2 cup water
- 3 eggs
- 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350. Beat all ingredients. In large bowl with electric mixer on low speed until moistened. Beat on medium for 2 minutes until well blended. Spoon batter into cupcake liners, 2/3 full. Bake for 20 minutes. Remove from pans; cool completely. Then frost them!!!
Spiced Cream Cheese Frosting
- 1 package (8oz) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup butter, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 4 cups powdered sugar
Beat the first 4 ingredients until light and fluffy. Gradually add in the powdered sugar (one cup at a time) until smooth. I used a Wilton decorating tip & bag to decorate mine, of course. Perfectionist in me came out:)
I went to Williams Sonoma Outlet last year after thanksgiving and got this super cute cupcake kit with cute fall-y cupcake liners and turkeys in thanksgiving outfits as toppers. For 50 cents. Holla!!! To be honest, I usually forget about such finds but I remembered this year!!! Can I get two points for that? Great! Thanks!
I hope you and your family have a wonderful thanksgiving!
Hook em horns!
Yours truly,
Dauphin gal
