Spice Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Pumpkin Frosting Recipe momspark.net

I’ll come right out and say it. I am not the type of girl to shy away from a cake mix. I do bake from scratch the majority of the time, but every once in a while I like to stray…to the dark side.

These cute little cupcakes utilize a spice cake mix, premade cream cheese frosting and canned pumpkin. Few ingredients, a few minutes to bake, and you have a wonderful treat full of fall flavors.

    These look so cute and delicious! I have a lot of free cream cheese to use up, so I think I’ll try this with homemade frosting and a homemade cake. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Cute idea! Where did you get those sprinkles? Are they actually gingerbread flavor?
