MSC: Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes

muffinpumpkin

Everyone in my family hates pumpkin except for me. It also doesn't help that these look really ugly! Since I wasn't going to get any help from anyone, I skipped the frosting. It wasn't easy eating all of these myself even though I quartered the recipe. Pacing myself at 2 to 3 a day, I eventually finished them. I'm making this sound like hard work... which it was especially after day 2, but when they were all gone I actually missed them. I doubt I'll be making another batch soon though!

Thanks to Kim of What the Whisk for choosing this recipe!

    It's funny how people either like pumpkin or they don't - there are many people who are just on the fence. These were a big hit at my house, although I did not make the marzipan.

    cute pumpkin. I always think I don't like pumpkin...but really I do. I just don't like pumpkin pie.

    I see you are Canadian - and after all the Thanksgiving/pumpkin baking I consumed last weekend, I was pumpkined out. Maybe I would have liked these cupcakes better last week

    Yours look especially orange-y - did you add extra pumpkin? They also look supermoist - yum! The marzipan pumpkin is too cute!

    I love the orange color and how moist they look. I would have eaten all of them in one day. Oink, oink.

    Thanks for baking with us this month!

    Oh yeah, I know how that feels. I have family who shy away from most baked goods, which I love making. So what I do is actually make a small fraction of the recipe- think 1/8th or so- it keeps my math skills honed and I make just enough for myself for a day or two....but it is a lot of work for so little :)

    We weren't too wild about the idea of pumpkin originally either, but the cream cheese frosting was the definitive answer...LOL! Yours look lovely just as they are.

    I think they look good, especially next to that cute litte pumpkin. I quartered the recipe as well, thinking I would be the only one eating them. However, my husband ended up liking them and helping me out, lol.
