Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting

These are perfect for the fall and holiday season. They didn't last very long when I made them the first time, so I am baking some tonight to have at my son's first birthday party tomorrow!

Pumpkin Spice Cupcake
Ingredients:
8oz canned pumpkin
1 box spice cake mix
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1/3 cup water
3 large eggs

directions:
Preheat oven to 350* Mix all ingredients in a med bowl on medium for
about 2 mins. Pour mix into paper lined cupcake/muffin tray. Bake
18-23 mins, until tooth pick inserted in center comes out clean.

Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting:
Ingredients:
8oz cream cheese, softened
4tbs (1/3 cup) butter, softened
1tsp vanilla
16oz powdered sugar
cinnamon

Directions:
mix cream cheese, butter, and vanilla in a bowl until well mixed.
Gradually add in sugar, mixing well each time. After all sugar is
mixed in, mix in a couple good shakes of cinnamon.
(the original recipe didn't call for cinnamon, and I didn't measure it
out. I recommend adding it in gradually, and tasting after until it
has the taste you want)
