Designer Desserts: Pumpkin Spice

Our first pumpkin!

The cupcake pictured above is Designer Desserts: Pumpkin Spice.

Presentation : 7/10 Sprinkles

The pumpkin candy corn looked tacky, but we still love the look of the cupcake! We would have liked to see some more "spice" on the cake.

Taste & Texture

Cake: The cake was a moist and dense spice cake.

Frosting: The frosting was actually too much for this cupcake.  There were 2 layers of a toned down pumpkin butter cream.  The pumpkin candy corn looked melted into the cake and was a little stale.

Overall:  

Shauna: 7/10 Sprinkles

 Shauna gave this rating because she thinks this cupcake is exactly what she had expected for a pumpkin spice cupcake.  However, she would have liked more spice on the cupcake.

Katrina: 7/10 Sprinkles

Katrina gave this rating because she loved how moist the spice cake was but thought the frosting was too much to handle with each bite.
