The cupcakes were moist and the frosting was yummmy! The frosting on its own is a bit spicy from the cinnamon but, on the cupcake it tastes great.

I made this for thanksgiving but made it as a cake in a 9x13 pan. It came out great and the frosting was delicious. After being refrigerated it tasted just like pumpkin pie. It was so easy to make, I can't wait to make one for my dad who loves pumpkin because I know he will love it!

Delicious, moist cupcakes BUT I put less than half the amount of sugar called for in the frosting and it was still super sweet! Be sure to taste as you add the sugar!
