Pumpkin Cupcakes with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting


If you have an October birthday (myself included) you're bound to get pumpkin desserts. When I gave a one of these cupcakes to my friend Jenny earlier this week, I realized that a year ago this time, I had given her pumpkin whoopie pies (also of current banner fame). And well, geez, I hope she likes pumpkin + cream cheese.

(I do!)

PS. In the linked recipe, I halved the amount of frosting, and still had more than I needed. And, I used 1/2 maple syrup, 1/2 powdered sugar for the sweetener. I liked the earthier flavor the syrup provided.

Also, is there any way we could do without the stand mixer--or would it totally eff things up?

You can definitely do this with a hand mixer and a bowl!
