Okay, so I followed the adapted recipe from one of the raters, robt.williams_12719766, and added 2 eggs, oil, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove. I made the glaze, not the cream cheese frosting though.

Absolutely DELICIOUS! I made them for a Halloween party, along with a bunch of other treats. They were by far the favorite of the night.

The only downside was they didn't really look like pumpkins. No one cared though. They tasted great.

As stated by other reviewers, this is a very thick dough and hardy what would be considered a cupcake texture. I made a second batch, adding an entire can of pumpkin puree and 2 large eggs. (My cake mix called for 3 so one was omitted, along with any other liquid but the oil. I also added cinnamon, nutmeg and clove to increase the "fall factor." The second batch was light, fluffy and tender. Cream cheese frosting in place of the glaze and we now have a new family favorite.

I didn't make the cupcakes. Instead I made it into a Bundt Cake. I used all of the ingredients that Sandra Lee said to use, with a few variations. The batter was very "Thick". Therefore, I added an extra TBLS.of Vegetable Oil instead of additional Pumpkin Puree. When the Batter was all mixed together (Beat for Only 2 Mins. on Medium w/ Hand Held Mixer I added (1 One Cup of Chopped Walnuts to the batter. I baked as directed on the cake mix box for a Bundt Cake. The cake came out fine, however, I FAILED TO DUST IT WITH FLOUR after I sprayed it with a Non-Sticking Cooking Spray. The cake stuck to my Bundt Pan. I had to throw away my Bundt Pan.... RE: The Glaze, I added (1 One TBSP. of Water and it was fine. Overall, the cake was Good! It had a "Doughnut Like" Texture. It was different but Good. I couldn't stop eating it!

These are the BEST pumpkin cupcakes my family has ever had! I didn't make the frosting because I thought they were good enough without it. Everyone loved them as they were. 5 stars!!

The cupcakes were easy to mix up.I did not think they would rise like they did on the show but they did. The icing did not mix up as runny as on television.I had to add a little milk to thin it down to a glaze.The finished cupcake tasted more like a "cake doughnut" than a cupcake to me.It was not light like a regular cupcake but if you like cake doughnuts, I think you would like this recipe. As for everyone saying they changed the amount of ingredients and then complained it did not turn out good, well DUH! How can you judge a recipe if you don't do it the way the directions say? On TV the batter was very thick, just like it was supposed to be for this "quick" cupcake recipe.

I do not like pumpkin, but I love these muffins. They were a hit for my thanksgiving. Yes I found I had to increase the pumpkin by 1/2 cup, and it took 10 mins longer to cook. The icing was good and I use alot of water to get it to drizzle, you don't pour it on you put the muffin in the bowl and twist. This is now in my family recipe book.

I made these cupcakes for Thanksgiving. I went with a chocolate frosting instead of the glaze though as I thought it would please my picky eater more. They were a huge hit. Moist and delicious and super easy.
