Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting topped with Pumpkin Pie Toppers. Pumpkin Spice recipe from Barefoot Contessa (delicious) and Maple Cream Cheese Frosting is our usual cream cheese frosting with a bit of maple syrup. I wish they were a bigger hit but with all of us stuffing ourselves full of food before dessert, that was kind of difficult. Cupcake toppers were my own idea a few weeks ago and then I realized there was a tutorial here by: thefrostedcakencookie. Wish I used it, would have made them easier :P but they were a lot of fun.
