With the coming of fall, comes the great taste of pumpkin and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg. Probably the two greatest spices ever made. My mom especially has a soft spot for those flavors and she made a special request for some spice cakes, and I decided to spice up the cupcakes with some pumpkin puree. I made the cupcakes in a foreign kitchen, meaning not my kitchen. I had to use a hand held mixer and didn't have my double ovens for baking. But I did have my dessert loving niece as my cupcake helper. So we made a spice cake, added pumpkin puree and then topped them with cream cheese frosting. My niece added the cinnamon sugar topping, she is about cute as a cupcake and just as sweet!
