pumpkin goodness

Okay, so I am a week late writing about my pumpkin cupcakes.  I made the cupcakes last week, and although they took some time making, they weren't too hard to make.  The recipe made 32, and let me tell you, I was afraid that all of the ingredients were not going to fit into the blender.  It was pretty much filled to the top, and if I would have put anymore in there it would have been a huge mess.  Actually, talking about huge messes, I had Mark take a picture of the messes I make while making cupcakes.  Now, do realize that although I am messy, I do clean everything up right away.  I just have visions of Gordon Ramsay yelling at me, calling me a "donkey" (or something to that affect).  Here is the shot of my mess.  Oh, and PS, the mess by no means is a reflection on the quality of the cupcake, I am overly delicate about that.

Moving along, the cupcakes were absolutely wonderful and tasty.  They were actually my favorite of all the cupcakes I have made thus far.  I am a huge fan of pumpkin.  Everyone that tried them liked them as well.  Now, I had to put cream cheese frosting on them (which, by the way, the recipe makes a ton more than what you actually need) because everyone was excited about that part, but I think the cupcakes would be just fine without.  Actually, I would just put a little bit of frosting on it.  So, overall, I would have to say that these would be 9.75 out of 10 on the delicioso scale (did I mention yet that I turned it to the delicioso scale because my father was giving me a hard time about the yummy scale?!)  Anyway, not sure what cupcakes I am making next.  Something easy because it is a busy week.  Until then!
