This is a wonderful recipe I discovered and changed a bit to suit my taste. I love the flavor of pumpkin and the cinnamon makes ordinary cream cheese frosting extra special. When I made a batch for my husband to take to work, he said they disappeared in record time.—Debbie Wiggins, Longmont, Colorado

I've had this recipe for a while but didn't make them until this year. Boy did I regret that! These were the best cupcakes I've ever made. My boyfriend won't let me share them with anybody! I brought them to work and everyone wanted the recipe. I'll be making these every year for the rest of my life, more than likely. : )

just made for the 1st time for my county fair extension project and walked away with Grand Champion! :) Only thing I did different was the frosting because of cream cheese restrictions- so used a buttercream instead with a touch of cinnamon added- but this recipe is to die for! SOOOO moist! and I'm not a huge pumpkin fan but these are great! Would HIGHLY recommend! They also make about 30 cupcakes so for a big batch - great recipe. Maybe for just my family I might cut in half.

Delicious and so moist! I added about 1/2 cup of applesauce to make them extra moist and they taste great!

Very moist and delicious. However, the amount of icing this recipe makes is way more than you need. I halved the recipe, put it on thick and still had some left over.

My daughter made these and they were devine! She used nutmeg for ginger since we didn't have any. And instead of buying buttermilk for this one recipe, she used the milk/vinegar substitute. Wonderful!! I hope she makes these again!
