Not a fan of the cream cheese frosting, but the cupcakes themselves were good.

The cupcakes were dense and dry, and the frosting was too runny. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

These cupcakes were a bit too sweet for my taste, but my kids loved them. They're also very easy to make, so I'll probably make them again for a kid's party.

I've made these cupcakes several times now, and they always turn out great. They're moist and flavorful, and the frosting is creamy and delicious. I love that they're also relatively easy to make.

These cupcakes were a hit at my Thanksgiving party! The pumpkin flavor was perfectly balanced with the spices, and the cream cheese frosting was the perfect finishing touch. I will definitely be making these again for Christmas.
