I haven't carved a pumpkin in years, but today, in the spirit of Halloween, my friend Claire invited me to a pumpkin carving party. Whatever my contribution to the event would be, it had to be laced with pumpkin. And thus these Pumpkin Cupcakes with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting (that have been on my list for some time) would do perfectly.
As mentioned a couple posts ago, Deb's recipes are nearly always excellent. My only complaint here would be that the frosting wasn't really maple-y, but that's simply ratios that can be adjusted next time this one comes around. Whatever my thoughts, a dozen of these beauties were consumed by the time I ducked out for the evening, and I'll take that as sign of a successful recipe.
Once again - well done Smitten Kitchen, well done.

These look delicious! I discovered pure maple flakes at Planet Organic, they would make perfect sprinkles for the top of these beauties, and add to the maple flavour :)
Happy Halloween!
Thanks! And great idea! Definitely trying that next time.
And to you!
