It's October! Which means it's practically fall. Which means everything I eat must involve apples, pumpkin, or anything else red/orange/brown. I made these little guys for an annual broccoli pot luck (Broktoberfest!!) and while it doesn't technically involve broccoli, I didn't have the heart to make a broccoli dessert.. because that's gross.
Cream cheese frosting is a no brainer for pumpkin desserts.... So good! The cake is light and fluffy, with a very delicate crumb. I love holiday spices, so I go a little heavy when adding them.
I ended up with a little more icing than I anticipated, so I ended up stuffing these cupcakes as well instead of just icing them.**
