from smittenkitchen....pumpkin cupcakes with maple cream cheese frosting...my weekend baking project...after the bike ride (we always add a tip of the elbow of orange juice to our pumpkin bread/cupcake/muffin recipe)

update: these cupcakes were incredible!  the boys said they tasted "professional"...and Michael ate these instead of the bakery ones he bought...they were gone over night.
