Because we can't just leave cupcakes out of the fall celebration. We've got everything for fall - fall veggies, fall coffees, fall pies, fall fruit, fall muffins... you get it. Cupcakes have to come to the party, too. Hence this creation of cinnamony, warm, sweet, cream cheese-tastic goodness. The first time Alex and I tasted some amazing sweet potato cupcakes was at a local bakery, Sparkle Cupcakes... which has since closed :( so I decided to bake some myself. Why be deprived? I looked at a few different recipes and came up on this one from the Food Network:
Sweet Potato Cupcakes, Brown Sugar Frosting I followed this recipe, but I cut it in half and ended up with exactly 12 cupcakes. I did not however use this frosting recipe. I stuck with a basic cream cheese frosting: 1 stick of butter, 4 oz cream cheese, powdered sugar (~1 cup) and I added a sprinkle of cinnamon. These cupcakes smell ah-mazing in the oven.
And they are sooo good! Cupcake collection has nothing you on, Suze!
