If I had made this into bread, it wouldn't have needed frosting.
However, once in the form of a cupcake, they seemed to require icing.
My friend made these first. She said they were delicious. So of course I had to make them.
She was not wrong.
These were fantastic!
But I have to say, I think I enjoyed the frosting the most!
I seriously ate it could have eaten it with a spoon.

ReplyDeleteThey look wonderful! I would have eaten the cream cheese frosting with a spoon too - in fact, it's rather dangerous to leave me alone with a bowl of any kind of cream cheese frosting. :P
Debbie these look very good but what is starter? Diane
ReplyDeleteOh wow! I actually froze some starter this time around. I might thaw it and make some of these.
ReplyDeleteyum yum! I'm thinking about making pumpkin muffins tonight after all the pumpkin blog inspiration I keep seeing!
ReplyDeletePumpkin Cupcakes! I love pumpkin. I love cupcakes. They look so good!
ReplyDeleteI don't have anything witty or intelligent to say......so....YUM!!!!! I always make extra frosting to....umm...well, to eat.
ReplyDeleteThat icing does look good. I'd like to say that it would be good on this or that. But I know I'd just eat it off a spoon too.
ReplyDeleteThese look so good. Pumpkin is just perfect this time of year. I always enjoy trying to cook healthy foods too. I'm going to take a look around at your recipes. Have a good one!
ReplyDeleteKatie @ This Chick Cooks
I am still so amazed at how many things you can make out of that Amish starter!!
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious!
Oh, Debbi-those look wonderful! Thanks for the recipe. I like old and country-type recipes, too. Please visit my blog when you have a chance!
ReplyDeleteI LOL'ed about you eating the frosting with a spoon b/c I just reached a new low yesterday, taking some leftover mocha frosting and putting it in a bowl, topping it with toffee bits, and eating it like it was a meal!! It sounds worse than it was, though, the bowl was tiny and I only ate half. Still, that's pretty gross. But it tastes sooooooooooo good-hehe!
ReplyDeleteThose look wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThese look good. I will have to give these a try.
ReplyDeleteOh my I just gained weight looking at them! I had some Amish bread starter once and it was way too sweet for me!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Pumpkin frosting... now that's new to me. Sounds deeeelicious!
ReplyDeleteBlessings, e-Mom
I agree - a cupcake needs frosting!! These sound delicious!
ReplyDeleteOh goodness, I need to make these immediately. Possibly a tribute to them on my cupcake page!
ReplyDeleteOh Yes, I could def eat that icing with a spoon! They look great, thanks for sharing!!
ReplyDeleteThose look delicious, and a pumpkin cream cheese icing: WOW! Thanks for sharing these, Debbi.
ReplyDeleteBlessings, Beth
Debbi, these cupcakes look SPECTACULAR! I adore pumpkin anything, especially when they're made into super cute and delicious-looking cupcakes!
ReplyDeleteOh that icing does sound quite divine! I love frosting made with cream cheese. YUM!
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Natasha.
Ok, you recommended it, I will just make the frosting and eat it with a spoon. Then I don't have to wait for the cupcakes to bake or to cool! Sounds fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYum! LOVE pumpkin! And what a fun series! I've never made an Amish recipe that we didn't like.
ReplyDeleteYou should add these to my Holiday Cupcake Challenge, this week's challenge was flavor.

Thanks for taking a minute and adding your cupcake to the challenge! I hope you will join us for the coming weeks, I have really GREAT prizes planned!
ReplyDelete~Liz
This sounds INCREDIBLE!
ReplyDeleteI have a recipe for pumpkin cupcakes, but I definitely will be trying the frosting on top of them instead of the caramel soon!! I have a crush on pumpkin :)
ReplyDeleteI have a confession: I feel lonely and I need this, badly needed! lol I made this I think last week but don't have frosting. I can't wait to try=)
ReplyDeleteMMmmmm. These look so moist. I like your pumpkin spice frosting recipe. Can;t wait to try it.
ReplyDeleteWOW, I can almost taste those. They look amazing Debbi, saving this recipe :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not much of a cook honestly, just learning to bake a little, so I'm sorry if this sounds dumb.. Would substituting Splenda for the powdered sugar ruin the icing?? I started adding all the calories and other info up so I could calculate the points before making, and my jaw dropped when I saw there was 1440 calories just in the powdered sugar :( I know it will come out to be a lot less than that once divided up per serving, but figured I'd at least ask. I'm all for cutting calories where I can! Thanks!!
ReplyDeleteMine look nowhere NEAR as mouth-watering: http://cataylor85.blogspot.com/2010/10/caramel-pumpkin-pudding-cupcakes.html
That sounds tasty! Thanks for linking up to Tip Day Thursday at Around My Family Table. Link up anytime!
