I've never had pumpkin cupcakes before!

They're super delicious. With cream cheese frosting :D Oh, the reminds me, I need to get some food coloring for orange frosting!

Ah, cream cheese frosting is the most gorgeous thing ever invented! On red velvet cupcakes or cinnabon [drool]

*Squeezes Cookie really hard* [glomp] Hi!

love love cream cheese frosting
so yummy

You know, I think that I could probably eat the frosting on it's own!

Hey Luna :D Long time no see.

Yes, this cream cheese frosting is particularly deadly. It's two things of cream cheese and a stick of butter just whipped for forever until it's fluffy and it only has a little sugar in it, just two cups. It's so good though!

I really should get into the kitchen to start the cupcakes. I'm stalling!

may I post a bit with all of you? I am terribly behind on this event :(

Sounds so yummy. I love buttercream.. cream cheese frosting.. on carrot cake especially.

Hey Birdie! I'm loving the theme to your avatar.

Oh are we talking about sweets? I can talk about my sweet tooth forever XD

thank you luna! I like your's too it's very cute!

I need to make more flapjack. I keep making it but it doesn't last long, so now there is none left. It is very nice though.

Hey Birdie. :D

The cake is really good. I'm typing up the recipe because it's in a book and I promised to share it with my friend. I'll post it later :D

What kind of cake is it, Cookie?

Pumpkin cake with cream cheese frosting. Though I'll be making cupcakes. :) Just gotta get up and do it. I'm being lazy D: My shoulder hurts. =/

I've never heard of using pumpkin for a kind of cake.. it sounds really cool. Doesn't pumpkin taste a bit bitter though?

Not bitter at all. Pumpkin is delicious. It's quite similar to sweet potato in flavor and texture and you use similar spices in it, like cinnamon and ginger. It's delicious.

I do like cinnamon! I don't think I've actually ever tasted pumpkin. I eat butternut squash which is probably quite similar, and I also eat sweet potato. I was interested in the Starbucks' latte: Pumpkin Spiced Latte, but I haven't tried it. I saw online that some people found it bitter tasting.

I think if you baked your own pumpkin, that might happen. Not all pumpkins are ideal for baking. Here in the states, we have a company, Libby's, that makes already cooked and mashed pumpkin. It's a blend of pumpkin ideal for eating. So it's super easy to pop open a can and bake with it. I hear that in Australia, they don't have canned pumpkin, so they have to bake their pumpkins and mash it up themselves. But like I said, not every pumpkin is ideal for eating. The decorative pumpkins probably don't taste very good.

Ah I get you. That makes sense, especially since there are so many churned out for Halloween. If they were all perfect for eating maybe we are best using it for our meal instead of cutting holes in it! [lol] I guess it's like apples, too. We had an apple tree in our garden, but they were cooking apples, you wouldn't ever think of eating it raw.
I don't think I've ever seen canned pumpkin here. Can you buy the cans of Libby's in your local grocery store?

Yeah. I didn't know there were cooking apples when I was little.

Yep, and they put it out more visibly in the autumn, because pumpkin is considered an autumn flavor. Pumpkin around Halloween and especially pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. :)
