Spiced pumpkin cupcakes are moist pumpkin cake, spiced with the flavors of Fall, then topped with a sweet caramel cream cheese frosting. They’re a perfect Thanksgiving dessert.

Welcome to Pass the Sushi! I am a 20-something food blogger who rocks an apron like no tomorrow.

Oh yummy! I love pumpkin and I really want to try some new pumpkin recipes, they're not really a widely used ingredient in Scotland. I'm really hoping that next year we can grow some of our own pumpkins, so hopefully I'll get the chance to try out lots of recipes.
Have a lovely day, Jade
