Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes

I came across this recipe on the Betty Crocker website and thought I would try it out. In my opinion it looked much harder than it really was to do. Oh and the wonderful smell the pecans give off as you mix them with the sugar over the stove puts you directly on the mood for the holidays. The only draw back I had was that the icing they suggest you use is oil based and even though the cupcakes were completely cool the icing would slide right off even 3 days later. So I suggest that you skip the lazy way of buying the icing premade and make it yourself. Mmmmm...so good ;)
