Pumpkin overload???
So I was planning to make pumpkin cheesecake cupcakes as a dessert option for Thanksgiving. We were also planning on serving an apple and pecan pie. So MIL asks what she can do to help and I give her the apple and pecan pie suggestions, and tell her she can really do any kind of pie she wants, but I am doing pumpkin cupcakes. So she calls me last night and says she is going to make her mother's pumpkin pie recipe. I didn't want to say no and be rude, because she is heloing me out by bringing most of the desserts, but seriously??? So now my question is, should I rething my cupcake idea? It seems like it could be a lot of pumpkin to have 2 of the 3 desserts be pumpkin based.

Re: Pumpkin overload???
Ha...my DH would LOVE to be at that dessert buffet.
How many people are going to be there?
If its under 6 people it just sounds like a lot period.
I think everyone kind of expects and looks forward to pumpkin pie.
Pumpkin cheesecake cupcakes, if its the recipe that I have done are incredible and just different enough to not remind you of pumpkin pie.
I think its ok!
If the two pumpkins are your only dessert choices, I would make something different. I don't really like pumpkin pie
other pumpkin foods are great, but not pie. And I don't eat cheesecake, any flavor.
Apple or pecan pie are my two favorites.
Ditto to the more pumpkin the better AND adding something else. You will have 16 ppl for dessert...get 8 pieces (?) from each pie (assuming you have the pumpkin from MIL and then an apple or pecan)-so there is a piece of pie for everyone. If you do the cupcakes, too-that gives a different option of the *often* beloved pumpkin AND a little sweet snack an hour or so after tummy have made a little more room for one more bite. : )
If you have any of those cupcakes leftover...I'll take one! ha!
