My second lesson in cupcakes is not to try using anything other than a basic buttercream frosting for elaborate cakes. This is what they are supposed to look like.I thought it would be really cute to make pumpkin cupcakes with cream cheese frosting and then use cream cheese frosting. I'd seen a lovely design in my 'hello cupcake' book so it seemed pretty straightforward.
Cream cheese frosting doesn't behave the same, so it was all a little on the gooey side! I'll know for next time that this frosting is only good for a quick piping in the shape of a flower.
I'm in such a quandry, they tasted just wonderful, but look worthy of a cakewrecks post!
Thanks to Martha Stewart, for the recipes: Cupcakes and Frosting. I followed them exactly! And thanks to Hello Cupcake for the decoration idea.
