Fall Cupcakes

Two cupcakes I made on Friday for my fall seasonals:

Pumpkin cake with clove & cinnamon cream cheese frosting

These ones are super moist. And to change up the boring regular cream cheese frosting that accompanies a lot of pumpkin cakes, I added cinnamon and fresh ground cloves.

Cinnamon Apple Cake with Cayenne Caramel Icing and Spiced Pecans

For this one, I pulled the 'frosting' recipe from the November 2009 issue of Bon Appetit and added 1/2 tsp. of cayenne pepper. I was expecting something a bit thicker, but wound up with something that, while still good, was more icing-like than i expected, even after chilling for 3 hours.
