Here are my cupcakes:
Pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting
These are oh so good! And even more so, they are so easy! I could sit here and eat the whole pan. Good thing they are low fat and low calorie!
1 butter recipe (or any flavor you want/have)
1 can pumpkin (I just used Libby's)
1 tsp nutmeg
2 tsp cinammon
Mix together, it will be dry, but okay!
Preheat oven to whatever the box says.
Cook them according to box directions.
I got 21 cupcakes out of this, I will make them fuller next time as they don't rise much.

1 8oz package cream cheese
1/4 cup softened butter
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups powdered sugar
Cream the cream cheese and butter, stir in vanilla and add in powder sugar. Frost cupcakes, this made plenty probably enough for more than 24!

Melanie, those are the ones I made about a month or so ago, but I tried Butterscotch Cream Cheese Frosting, which was REALLY good, but entirely too runny for my preference. The cupcakes were GOOD.
Ditto this... just have to decide which one.
I couldn't find anything super exciting like I wanted.

Melanie, those look good. The frosting with maple syrup in it sounds devine!
