Pumpkin Cupcakes with Maple Frosting

When planning my fall shower, I knew I wanted cupcakes as the dessert that had fall flavors. One that I settled on serving was pumpkin cupcakes with maple frosting.
My inspiration for this was the recipe I have for melt in your mouth pumpkin cookies. The tender cookies are topped with a delicious maple frosting. So I used that frosting and paired it with a pumpkin cupcake recipe that I love. The maple is the perfect compliment to the pumpkin.
