Spinkles Cupcake Mix – Pumpkin Flavor

I’m a big fan of Spinkles Cupcake’s Mixes. I think they taste great and offer some convenience. So naturally when they roll out a new flavor I I have to try it out! This was no exception for the pumpkin flavor. (I think they had it last year, but can’t remember…anyway, I think it only comes out seasonally!)

I purchased mine at my local Williams-Sonoma in Provo.

Overall I thought the mix produced some nice pumpkin cupcakes. To top them off, Spinkles suggested using one of their cream cheese recipes. It was the perfect fit, becuase the frosting has a hint of cinamon that really tied it into the cake.

The end result, meaning texture of the cupcake surprised me because it really was more like a quickbread than a cupcake. The baking time was even longer than a normal cupcake. But i didn’t mind. It was delicious. I brought the cupcakes to work and they were very well received!

Here’s a little photo journey of my baking adventure.

for some reason i love the way my kitchen aid bowl looks after I scrape out the batter…

before the oven…

nice close up!

i guess i didn’t get any shots of the unfrosted cupcakes. here’s the finished product!

Yum yum. I love pumpkin cupcakes! And as i said the cinnamon cream cheese frosting really makes them special!
