This photo of a dulce de leche pumpkin cupcake is by Deanna at Occasional Sugar. Want to get in on cupcake baking competition Cupcake Hero? November's flavor is...peanut butter! (I love peanut butter - I get it from my grandmother, who eats it with a spoon right out of the jar. So do I!)

For the cupcakes, I chose a recipe that has recently been featured all over the blogging world. It was the winner of October's Cupcake Hero competition for which the secret ingredient was Pumpkin...The recipe was a perfect choice as I wanted to do some sort of Fall-themed cupcake but didn't want them to necessarily be Halloween-themed. (Post on my Halloween Cupcakes coming in the next couple days). Also, Dulce De Leche Ice Cream is one of my FAVORITES and I was intrigued about making my own for the filling. The cupcakes were wonderful! The cake was moist with the perfect combination of fall spices. The filling was not overwhelming, it added just a hint of smoothness to the cake. And the frosting was also so tasty. I definitely recommend these cupcakes to anyone wanting to impress this holiday season.
See Occasional Sugar for the recipe and more photos.

I must clarify something, The Sweetest Kitchen was not declared the winner yet of October's Cupcake Hero. They are in a "throw down" against the entry from Sweet Remedy Bake Shop.
