I cheated and made this as a cake instead of taking time to ice each cupcake, so I baked it in a 9x13 pan and it turned out great and the house smelled amazing. I've had requests for the recipe and everyone that tried it wanted more!

Made these for my family & they loved them! My daughter took some to school & the kids loved them too! My daughter said she wanted these only as a cake for her birthday.

I thought the cake was very moist, but the icing had too much cinnamon in it if the recipe was followed

I made these for a party we had and I should of made double! Everyone ranted about how great they were. I printed out recipes for everyone before they left. My daughter asked if I would make these for her birthday rather then a traditional cake.

These are DELICIOUS! I made them for my Mom's birthday because she loves pumpkin and they were a huge hit. I didn't alter the recipe at all. They are absolutely wonderful and something I'll use as a go to dessert now!

Excellent cupcake. I've already made them twice! They are even better the next day and it's the best cream cheese frosting I've made yet (not so sweet and overwhelming)! This recipe is a keeper! :)

This were a hit! Took them to work and they disappeared in no time. The icing is especially great. I substituted 1 cup of 2% greek yogurt for the sour cream and it didn't seem to have any negative impact while making them lower in fat! Will definitely be adding these to the list of my favorite fall treats.
