These are probably the best cupcakes I have ever made! You can definitely taste the pumpkin but it's not too overwhelming. However I did use Pillsbury's Cream Cheese Frosting recipe instead of the vanilla. SO delicious! Everyone at my Halloween party gobbled them right up!

These were great! I made them for work and they seemed to go over quite well :) However, I'm not big on the frosting. The cupcake itself is delicious and the frosting seems to overpower its flavor. I only frosted half of my batch so people could choose which one they wanted.

I made these for a "Fall" get together. Everyone absolutely loved them. My girls thought they were amazing and they are hard to please. I will definitely be making them again. Thanks Pillsbury!!!
