These cupcakes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I would recommend using less pumpkin pie spice if you don't like your cupcakes too spicy.

These cupcakes were easy to make and turned out great! I used a store-bought pumpkin puree and they still tasted delicious. The cream filling was a bit runny, but it was still very tasty.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the pecans in the cream filling with chopped walnuts. They turned out great!
