Polka Dot Pumpkin Cupcakes

This cupcake is extremely rich and bursting with Pumpkin flavor. It is also a self frosting cupcake which makes it even more attractive to those who do not have a lot of time for baking.

I must admit thou I did have a little trouble with this recipe, when I put the topping on the cupcake, during baking it went to the middle of the cupcake.......O.K. That wasn't so bad........It actually added to the richness of the cupcake but then I still needed to frost them..........I am not sure what I did wrong but they really were quite flavorful...........
