When it comes to be Autumn, I want cream cheese frosting with pumpkin things almost constantly! And a cream cheese frosting is important other times of year, perhaps most notably with a carrot cake, which I like in springtime. Frosting is not even my favorite part of a dessert, but I get excited about this. One great place for it? These pumpkin cupcakes of course. And many more things too. I actually enjoy almost any cake with cream cheese frosting.
