Pumpkin and maple are two of the delicious and distinct flavors of fall. They work together beautifully in these moist and flavorful cupcakes.
Top the cupcakes with mini cookies (as shown), or save time by simply topping the cupcakes with a dash of cinnamon or a candied nut.
Start with a delicious batch of my favorite Pumpkin Cupcakes. The recipe (as listed HERE) can be made with, or without nuts.
Finish the cakes with this creamy, delicious and subtle maple frosting (below).
