Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes
Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes. Every now and then the boys will ask me to make them a special treat. Most of the time they are content with photo shoot cast off treats though. Recently, my oldest asked me to make him something delicious with pumpkin spice. Now, I may get shot for this, but I really don’t care for pumpkin spice…anything…maybe my homemade marshmallows…
While the big kid was at school, I whipped up a batch of semi-homemade Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with a rich, creamy vanilla bean cream cheese frosting.
I made a dozen and they were gone in no time! He’s asked me to make them twice more since then, I guess I should go ahead and do that for him.
