I wanted to do something simple that could be made quickly since that is what this island is about. Plus, coming back from vacation, I did not have a lot of ingredients in the house. I am out of fruit and a few staples, but I had a few necessary ingredients.

So I started with a spice cake mix and went from there to create these Pumpkin Pie Spice Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting, which are really flavorful and taste like fall in a cupcake.

These are so simple to make with a cake mix and they actually taste like muffins when you bake them. But they really go up a notch when you add a nice cream cheese frosting.

Cream Cheese Frosting

1 8 oz. package cream cheese

Cream together butter and cream cheese on slow speed in mixer. Gradually add powdered sugar and beat on high until peaks form. Frost cupcakes. These make a really nice, rich pumpkin cupcake with a frosting that is creamy, without being too sweet. I think you will love them!
