There is something about cupcakes that gets my creative side all excited. I think it’s the seemingly endless combinations of cake, filling and frosting. And then you start adding different crumbles to the tops and my head practically bursts from all the ideas!
I thought it would be fun to gather up my favorite Thanksgiving dessert cupcakes from the bloggersphere and share them with you!
Instead of the ubiquitous pumpkin pie, why not serve a creative cupcake twist instead!
Or maybe in addition to pumpkin pie…because there might be family riots if that pie isn’t on the dessert table. We can’t have that.
Enough chit chat. I bring you the most delicious Thanksgiving desserts turned into CUPCAKES!!!

These Pumpkin Pie Cupcakes have all the delicious flavor of pumpkin pie in a cupcake! We love the homemade soft pumpkin cake topped with fluffy buttercream frosting. These cupcakes will be a hit at your next holiday party!
I took my favorite pumpkin cupcake recipe and after baking, filled them with an easy pecan pie filling. Â I just baked the pie without the crust. Â After all, we just need the good stuff.
Fluffy Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting
You can’t possibly taste these cupcakes and tell me they’re not perfection. Just look at how soft and fluffy they are with that moist cake and the super smooth dollop of frosting on top! These fall-spirited treats are flavored with pumpkin puree as well as a classic combination of warm pumpkin spices.
Diving into these maple pecan cupcakes from the top, you’ll be met with butter pecan buttercream frosting that tastes exactly like butter pecan ice cream – so much so that you may be tempted to put it in a bowl and eat it with a spoon. Â
If you love cinnamon sugar on almonds as much as I do, you’re going to fall in love with these cinnamon sugar almond cupcakes! Mouth-wateringly sweet cupcakes topped with nutty almonds. Yum!
You won’t believe how easy these fall leaves cupcakes were to decorate. Yellow and Orange frosting with chocolate leaves are so stunning for your Autumn Party.
Sweet cherry pie filling combined with luscious dark chocolate cake mix, all topped with a decadent Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting. Who could ask for more?
