Stitchy Quilt Stuff: Pumpkin Cupcakes = Delish

Ok, I'm just the teensiest bit obsessed with pumpkin these days.

I will assume you want to know why, so I've created this handy bullet point list to explain my love affair:

They taste like happy.
They smell like the holidays.
You can roast their seeds.
You can carve faces into their shells.
You can make them sweet or savory.
You can add them to lattes with fantastic results.
Babies look cute when seated next to them.
Again, they taste like happy.

I'll admit, I lurve pie, but it's not super portable. But cupcakes are . . . so why not combine the best of both worlds? Cupcakes with frosting and pumpkin pie? Ummm. . . yes please, I will.

I cheated a bit, though. I didn't make "from-scratch" frosting, which normally I would, but I just ran out of time. I didn't want to use plain' ole frosting from a can (and I have a slight aversion to cream cheese), so I mixed cinnamon into a can of vanilla frosting, and it tasted great.
