15 Fall Cupcakes to Celebrate the Sweater Weather!

 Hello! If you saw my earlier post about how much I love Fall, you can’t be surprised that I am going to go all pumpkin spice on you over the next few months. As you may or may not know, I love to bake and my crowning achievement this summer was perfect French macarons. But, my favorite dessert of all time (so far) is cupcakes. Basic, I know. But they are the perfect ratio of cake to frosting and they’re really quite simple! Sooooo, let’s take a look at these 15 Fall Cupcakes to Celebrate the Sweater Weather that I have curated from my favorite online recipe website, AllRecipes!

1. Pumpkin Ginger Cupcakes

"These taste of fall, and the crystallized ginger gives them a lovely little zing. Even people who don't like pumpkin love these cupcakes. These disappear as fast as I can set them out!"

2.  Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

When sweater weather rolls around, it's only fitting that everything you bake be inspired by this popular latte flavor. "They taste and look like they were purchased from a cupcake store!”

3. Apple Banana Cupcakes

Reviewer KERRE recommends pairing these moist, fruity cupcakes with this Brown Sugar Cream Cheese Frosting recipe for the ultimate fall duo.
