Soft and fluffy and delicious pumpkin cupcakes with a delicious cream cheese frosting. And Decorating these pumpkin cupcakes is super easy too!

How I created this Pumpkin Cupcake

So I love pumpkin anything! I mean I have a ton of pumpkin recipes on my site. Pumpkin Curry Soup, Pumpkin Ice cream and Warm pumpkin drink!

One of my favorite base recipes is this Pumpkin bread – I also use it for these pumpkin ghost mini cakes and now for these Pumpkin cupcakes!

This recipe is soft, fluffy and has an amazing flavor. And of course it doesn’t get much better than the best cream cheese frosting recipe ever!

During the live video I frosting the cupcakes from the center out – but frosting the rest of the cupcakes I discovered that it looks better frosting outside in (see the picture below)

Just take me to the Pumpkin Cupcake Recipe already!

If you’d rather skip my tips and tricks for pumpkin cupcakes, along with links to other fall recipes and get straight to this delicious cupcake recipe – simply scroll to the bottom of the page where you can find the printable recipe card.

Tips to Make the Perfect Frosting Pumpkin

  • After filling the piping bag twist the bag and pinch between your thum and hand to hold the twist. This way when you squeeze the frosting won’t go out the back end.
  • Hold the tip perpendicular to the cupcake and starting on the outside squeeze while you move the bag. Stop squeezing before pulling away – continuing pulling away towards top center.
  • Keep working outside in, overlapping each pass slightly so the center is thick and create a 3D look to your frosting pumpkin.
  • And frost in the same direction, so the “point” left from you can cover when you frost the stem!
  • Use a small round tip to create the stem and vines
  • Use a leaf tip to add leaves!

To make these Pumpkin Cupcakes you’ll need

  • Cupcake tin
  • Cupcake wrappers
  • Piping bags
  • Orange and green gel food dye
  • Frosting tips – Large round tip, small round tip and leaf tip
