Hi these cupcakes sound fantastic. Can anyone tell me please is the pumpkin pie spice a powder as I have never seen it here in the uk. If anyone knows where I can get it I would be grateful. I can't wait to try them. jenny
Pumpkin pie spice is a powder. McCormick has the spice in a 1.12oz.
JAY1949 here is a recipe for the spice: * 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon * 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger * 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg * 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
Combine all ingredients.Store in an airtight container.
These cupcakes sound amazing. What do you suppose is sprinkled on top of the frosting? Can't seem to find it anywhere in the recipe. Maybe cinnamon or nutmeg?

Yes, it's cinnamon, it's optional to sprinkle it with cinnamon.
Can you make a cake with this recipe?
Am I blind, or is there a print button anywhere? Thank You!
Can't find a print button either. :(
Any idea as to where I can find instant espresso powder? I'm in nj and can't seem to find it anywhere!
I found espresso powder at my local cake decorating supply store. You can also find it online either at Amazon or King Arthur Flour's website.
Can we make cake instead of cupcakes with this recipe?? And can anyone tell me what role plays the gelatin in the frosting?? Thanks!
The gelatin is used to stabalise the cream and hold the shape.
if you are using linis you can "ctrl p" to print windows does the same thing.:)
Sorry Linix
the only differance between cake and cupcakes is the shape of the container you put it in and the time it takes to cook. It made me laught to see cake mix companies market "cupcake mix" really?
God! Spelling seems to be an issue today?! The comment button is too darn fast! :)
I made these cupcakes and needless to say, they were a huge hit! I made a couple of minor adjustments. I didn't want to spend money on instant espresso, so I just brewed a small amount of strong coffee and used that instead of the 1/2 cup water and espresso, then I chilled it to make it cold for the gelatin step. I found the whipped cream to need more sweetening, so I doubled the sugar to help take the edge off the coffee bitterness.

Simlysmashing, it says 1 cup. Also, CakeCentral needs to get there technology back on track and open up our recipes that we have saved previously so we don't have this issue of having to print everything! I have lost so much because they don't have this feature back online!
