I know that I’ve said it before, but I’m going to say it again, fall is my favorite season!  Although living in Phoenix we don’t see much of it here, I love the fall colors.  And of course, you can’t beat all the delicious fall baked goodies!  I love trying out new recipes and food ideas during this time of year.  And I don’t hear much complaining from the neighbors who get to sample all the yumminess when I make too much.  Which is EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. 🙂  This pumpkin cupcakes recipe is just that.  A new recipe that I wanted to try, not just for the cute decorations, but because the cupcakes themselves are pumpkin!!

These pumpkin cupcakes aren't just super cute, they actually taste like pumpkin too! Get the recipe and tutorial.

I found these cute paper cups at a party shop, but you could use just plain orange too.  Once your cupcakes are baked and cooled, it’s time to decorate!  I used a big ice cream scoop (about 1/4 cup) to scoop my frosting.  I used my cinnamon cream cheese frosting for these cupcakes.  It goes so well with the pumpkin.  I placed one scoop of frosting onto each cupcake.  I use about 1/4 cup or 3-4 TBL cookie scoop for this. Then I poured some orange sugar crystals into a bowl and carefully turned the cupcake upside down or on it’s side and rolled the frosting into the crystal until all the frosting was coated.  It takes a gentle hand to do this or your cupcakes will look more flat than round on the top.

Here’s a tip: once the frosting is entirely coated with crystals, it won’t stick to your fingers if you need to help shape it a little bit on top.

Once the frosting is coated with the sugar crystals, I used broken pretzel pieces for the stems.  Am I the only one that loves all those crazy stems on real pumpkins?.  I used pretzel pieces because they reminded me of those stems.

I wanted the tops of the cupcakes to look like pumpkins so I used the side of a toothpick to make the score marks along the top.

I sure hope you give this pumpkin cupcakes recipe a try.  They will be a hit at your next Halloween or even Fall get together.  You know how much I love party food!  You could add some chocolate chips to make it a jack-o-lantern if you wanted.  They turned out just how I had envisioned them.

Happy Baking!
