foodie fridays: pumpkin cupcakes with maple frosting
“Indulge in autumn bliss with our Pumpkin Cupcakes and Maple Frosting. Each bite is a celebration of fall’s warmth and sweetness.”
Growing up, I loved to play make believe.
There wasn’t a blanket, table, Barbie, or Fisher Price cash register that wasn’t used in my so called “productions.” I loved performing. Letting my imagination run wild. It was where I found my truest self.
A few of my favorite productions revolved around playing bank, office, or grocery store. There was something about playing with Monopoly money, organizing pens, and punching numbers on a cash register that put a twinkle in my eye. My little brother, bless his heart, was my assistant in these make believe productions whether he liked it or not. But! I will give my brother credit because he had quite the imagination too.
One moment I would be scanning groceries and the next, he shouts, “HOT LAVA! We need to make a break for the couch to escape!” After we reached safety, we would make capes out of blankets and fly into the dining room escaping the volcano’s destruction.
Aaahh…those were the days.
Even though I miss spending the majority of my day escaping molten hot lava and playing bank teller, I would hate to miss out on reality because these pumpkin cupcakes with maple frosting are 100% legit.
You can’t go wrong with cinnamon, nutmeg, and pumpkin puree. I would swim in pumpkin puree if you asked me to. Okay, that may get weird and a little orang-y, but still! Fall equals pumpkin. Pumpkin equals fall. And if you slapped some sugary, cream cheese frosting with a splash of maple syrup on top of those pumpkin cupcakes…well, you would have a fall explosion.
If I were you, I would wear a cape when you ate these. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Girl, stunning photos. I’m digging your mixer. And maple frosting? I want to drink it. Love these cupcakes, Lauren!
Thanks, Cassie! I love my mixer too. Her name is Clementine and she’s the best! Couldn’t have made these delicious cupcakes without her!
I love all things pumpkin, and while I never liked maple as a child, I am beginning to fall in love with it as an adult. I know – I’m almost 50 so I’m a little late to the maple train, but at least I’m on board now. These look fabulous, Lauren. I need to scream “Hot Lava!” so you run from your kitchen and I can take a few off your hands.
Jeanne, I heart you! And yes, it’s never to late for the maple train…or a little make believe! I’ll send some over ASAP.
