    Didn't have any pumpkin in the house, so substituted some roasted acorn squash. Also didn't have the ingredients on hand for frosting so I made a glaze with some peach juice and coconut rum. Delicious! Not quite as sweet as a cupcake, but sweeter and lighter than your average muffin. Will definitely make again, and hopefully with all the original ingredients.

    Wonderful! Rich and moist and the frosting was awesome. It's true they didn't rise much but I didn't find it to be that big a deal. I made mini-cupcakes with these and they were so cute and quite a hit at Thanksgiving.

    flavor was delicious but the texture was a bit denser than a cupcake and they didn't rise very high at all. They were more like pumpkin muffins.

    I followed ever step and then I made a cream cheese batter with just a package of cream cheese an egg a cup of powdered sugar and a half cup of flower. I have a frosting decorator and I put that cream cheese mixture in it and injected a small puff of it in side the middle of the pumpkin cupcake before baking and it bakes nicely inside. for a special cheescake surprise. I also sprinkled some powdered sugar on top and they look beautiful.

    Unusual technique for a cupcake, but turned out very light w/very fine crumb. Very pumpkin-y too. Wish I had let the butterscotch caramelize more before adding cream-was strong enough to flavor the frosting. Baked up perfect size.

    These cupcakes came out light and delicious and this is how I made them. I used a hand mixer for the wet ingredients, then folded in the dry and mixed thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Baked them 22 mins as advised. They didn't rise very high but were still extremely light and airy. They have a mild flavor which I think young children would like, I know I did. The frosting was more than I wanted to be bothered with, and as I already had the Pillsbury Halloween Funfetti frosting with the colored things that go on top, I used half of this (which is a light pumpkin color and mixed it with 2T soft butter and the 8oz block softened cream cheese. It was really quick and easy and tasted terrific. And just the right consistency. If you buy the paper cups it saves greasing the pans (I got mine at Target with pumpkins on and makes the whole thing even quicker. I recommend this recipe for the contents as it is relatively low in sugar and makes exactly 12 cupcakes.

    I had high hopes for these cupcakes but was a little dissapointed. The cake part was very dense, almost like a cornbread as opposed to a fluffy and light crumb. Plus, they were very small. The frosting was quite good but there was so much of it. I could have frosted at least 2 dozen cupcakes.

    Definitely worth the time. The recipe is easy to make and the cupcakes bake up moist and delicious.
