These look and sound wonderful! I really love cream cheese frosting. I think it is one of the best. I also have never seen pumpkin and banana paired together. I am sure that is a winning combination!
ReplyDeleteYou did put together some great flavors here. There is no doubt that these are delicious and moist. The frosting is a great touch also. Yum!

Those cupcake photos are lovely! This IS the time of year for pumpkin, isn't it? Just that little bit of pumpkin makes this an autumn cupcake.

ReplyDeleteI'm digging those cupcake wrappers - I have kind of a thing for cupcake wrappers, and sprinkles...
