This recipe was used as the base for this <a href=\"https:\/\/thecakeblog.com\/2017\/09\/pumpkin-spice-cake.html\"><strong>Pumpkin Spice Cake<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can the canned pumpkin be substituted with fresh pumpkin puree?<\/strong> Yes, you could certainly use homemade pumpkin puree. Here is a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/thepioneerwoman.com\/cooking\/2008\/10\/make-your-own-pumpkin-puree\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">great recipe<\/a><\/strong> for making it at home.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can these be made in advance?<\/strong> Yes. You can bake the cupcakes in advance and freeze them stored in a ziplock bag. Defrost completely before frosting. Alternatively, you can bake and frost these cupcakes a day in advance, storing the finished cupcake in the refrigerator.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How should I store these cupcakes?<\/strong>\u00a0It\u2019s always best to store any cupcake with cream cheese frosting in the refrigerator. Bring the cupcakes out a 30 minutes before serving \u2013 they will taste the best at room temperature.<\/li>\n<li><strong>My icing turned out a little bit runny. What should I do?<\/strong>\u00a0 Your icing could have been runny due to the butter and cream cheese being too soft. Simply pop your bowl into the refrigerator to let it chill and set up some before piping onto the cupcakes. Another solution is to add a little bit more confectioners sugar to thicken it to your liking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Can I use a hand mixer instead of a stand mixer?<\/strong> Yes, this recipe will work with a hand mixer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>What piping tip did you use for the frosting?<\/strong>\u00a0A large round tip like a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/2alxtn1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><strong>Wilton 1A<\/strong><\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>How do I convert this recipe to grams?<\/strong>\u00a0Here is a <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/allrecipes.com\/howto\/cup-to-gram-conversions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">great resource<\/a><\/strong> to help you convert from cups to grams.<\/li>\n<li><strong>I don&#8217;t like pumpkin. Will I like these cupcakes?<\/strong> Yes, you will! Many people who are not fans of pumpkin still enjoy these pumpkin cupcakes. They offer a great alternative to pumpkin pie and other pumpkin desserts.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-32117\"
