It's time for another round of Martha Stewart: Cupcakes Club! This month's cupcake was chosen by Kim over at What the Whisk.She went with a seasonal pick-Pumpkin Patch Cupcakes. The recipe can be found on pg. 236 of Martha Stewart's Cupcakes. I looked online to see if I could find this particular recipe anywhere and I was not successful. There is a recipe online, but it is different from the one in the book that we used.
I was excited to try these because I love anything made with pumpkin-sweet or savory. The recipe said it yielded 32 cupcakes, but Martha's recipes always make more than they say, so I made 1/4 of the recipe. It was easy to cut into 1/4ths and I still ended up with 9 cupcakes.
These little guys are supposed to be frosted with Martha's Cream Cheese Frosting, but I happened to make some Halloween sandwich cookies on the same day and used the frosting from the cookies to top the cupcakes. (I will have a link to the frosting when I post about those cookies.)I also added a little bit of pumpkin puree and some spices to some of the frosting for a couple of the cupcakes.
We were supposed to make cute little pumpkins out of marzipan to top these, but since I didn't really have anywhere to take them, I skipped out on that step.
Overall, I thought these were good cupcakes. Nice flavor and texture.

ReplyDeleteyour whippy peaks are alotta fun! a great topper for this cupcake. ;)
ReplyDeleteVery pretty! Sometimes I make smaller amounts of these recipes too - so I can taste them but not be stuck with tons of cupcakes.
ReplyDeleteyour cupcakes look awesome!! I love how you piped them! I may hit you up for some piping tips. For some reason, the few times I have attempted piping frosting have been extremely unsuccesful!
ReplyDeleteI made 1/4th the recipe too, and still ended up with 5. Of course, the liners were quite full.......
ReplyDeleteThese look great. I love the way you frosted them.
ReplyDeleteOoh. I thought about adding the pumpkin puree to the frosting, but then I got worried that it wouldn't hold up as well.
ReplyDeleteThanks for pointing out that the recipe online is not the same... guess I didn't look closely enough!
