The frosting was too runny. I had to add more cream cheese to thicken it up.

The cupcakes were a bit dry. I think I overbaked them.

These cupcakes are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would cut back on the sugar next time.

I love the cream cheese frosting on these cupcakes. It's tangy and sweet and it pairs perfectly with the pumpkin cake.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I was happy to find a pumpkin cupcake recipe that didn't contain any nuts.

I love that these cupcakes are made with whole wheat flour. It gives them a healthier twist without sacrificing any of the flavor.

These cupcakes are a great way to use up leftover pumpkin puree. I always have a can or two on hand and these cupcakes are a great way to put it to use.

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin pie, but these cupcakes changed my mind. The cake is moist and fluffy and the frosting is rich and creamy.
