Cream Cheese Frosted Pumpkin Cupcakes {Gluten Free}


Wow, these were SO good. The frosting may just replace my cream cheese frosting recipe. For this recipe, I was not able to pipe all the cupcakes, so if you want a pretty swirl you may want to double or triple the recipe because you may just eat it all. The cupcakes were wonderful and soft and this recipe is so easy. These are a keeper.
