Pumpkin cupcakes

Happy Halloween! I'm celebrating with these amazing pumpkin cupcakes.

I made them in the mini size, partly because they're easier to share, and partly because I find the ratio of cream cheese frosting to cupcake to be ideal.

Anyone dressing up this year? What costumes did you find?

Also, I know I'm mean with the Friday teasers, but I just can't help it. I'll be back on Monday with a very special (and kind of long!) post.

    rachel- you always post something that makes me want to forget whatever else I was planning to do today- and just make good food. (or sew up a cute gym bag)
    thanks!

    That frosting looks divine....perfect for sticky, lickable fingers. I can't wait for this weekend, as I plan on making your recipes for quiche and applesauce :D

    And I think you should entitle your Friday posts to read "to be continued...."

    Happy Halloween with lots of treats!!

    I made ho-hum pumpkin muffins. These sounds much better! Plus that frosting would cover a myriad of sins.... :)

    These cupcakes look great. But I have a question: can I use real pumpkin insides instead of the canned stuff. I have a couple pumpkins left over from Halloween that I never got around to carving because I was to busy finishing the sewing of my costume & I'm trying to find recipes to use them up.
