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!!!

With your help, we’ve got hundreds of recipes for all sorts of Thanksgiving needs, from setting the table, to making ahead, to vegetarian dishes, to more desserts than my brain can comprehend.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Hi Kirsten, Thanks for including me!!!
I was suddenly craving cupcakes and stumbled to your blog lol. I realized it's been forever since I've had cupcakes. I can't even remember when. But today for some reason, I am suddenly in cupcake craving mode. I don't know why. They all look so good, it's hard to decide. Wow did you guys turn it into a cupcake book? Well, it's impressive. I am currently stuck on a cupcake competition scene in my book. I need inspiration.
So many yummy cupcakes. I can't pick my favorite. Thank you for linking up to Party Time and we hope to see you again next week!
Thanks, Jacqui! Absolutely!
this could quite possibly be the best (and most delicious) post ever 🙂
Haha! Thanks, Caralyn!
Oh my goodness, this is beyond amazing! My mouth is watering! What a great collection of sweet treats, one is better than the next! Yummy!

You've got me in a cupcake tizzy! I love all thes fall flavors and I've just seen about 10 episodes of cupcake wars flash before my eyes . So many gorgeous cupcakes and so little time!

Thanks, Kristi! Woo hoo! Success! And thanks for the pin, love! xo
Thank you so much for including my cupcakes! There are some really creative ones here. It makes me want to skip the pie too... But I think there'd be a riot at our house. We always have to have both pumpkin and pecan! Anything else is just frosting on the cupcake! 😉
Thank you for letting me include them! They are so unique! I see that you and I are on the same page...pumpkin and pecan are a must and then something else just for fun! 🙂
Oh my goodness, all of these cupcakes look amazing! I wish I could have one of each! Thank you so much for sharing my apple pie cupcakes! Pinning this entire collection 🙂
Thanks for allowing me to include your Apple Pie Cupcake...they look absolutely divine! Thanks for the pin, Kelly!

I am loving every single one of these cupcakes! Thanks for sharing my sweet potato cupcakes!
Thank you for letting me include your sweet potato cupcakes! They look amazing - just like *everything* you bake!
Lindsey, ok, I LOVE that you shared a CUPCAKE round-up for Thanksgiving!!! Brilliant because cupcakes are just the right size after you've stuffed yourself silly with turkey and mashed potatoes. . because even after you've eaten for like 3 hrs, you still need dessert. LOVE your Sweet Potato Casserole Cupcakes!!!!
That is sooo true, Alice! I always have to take a little breather before dessert too lol! And dessert for me, especially on Thanksgiving, is NEVER optional! Thank you 🙂
I don't have words for you...which is a problem considering we're bloggers! But seriously - every picture and recipe was better than the one before! Beautiful job!
Thanks, Annie! I run into the no-word problem quite frequently...too frequently. All I can think to say it omgsogoodmusttry!
