Sometimes it's your boyfriend's birthday...
... and sometimes this means you have to bake.
Today is my boyfriend's birthday, and so although I have much grander confectionary plans in mind for the celebration with friends, I could never show up on his birthday empty-handed, could I?Enter: cupcakes.
(Don't worry, I got him a real gift. But I hope he likes these, too!)
He likes pumpkin, and he likes cream cheese, and he isn't a huge "cake" person, so I found a recipe for pumpkin cupcakes with a cream cheese frosting. Perfect!
They're not super sweet but are oh-so-tasty, so I think he'll enjoy the flavors.
And I think you will, too.
While those are baking, you have just enough time to make the cream-cheese frosting!
That's optional. They're also delicious as muffins (without the frosting), or could go with vanilla or chocolate frosting if cream cheese flavor isn't your thing.
Don't bite yet--too hot! Let them cool for a bit.
