Pumpkin Bacon Redone!

          The first cupcake I experimented with was the Pumpkin Bacon cupcake with Maple Butter cream. It was a play on the salty and sweet, and who doesn't love bacon?! Well that was a couple of of years ago, and since then I've done many cupcakes of all different combinations. I decided though to go back to the one that started it all. It was a really good cupcake, but I wanted to make it better. I added more pumpkin flavor, more maple flavor, and of course more BACON! It came out just right! So boys and girls, here is a rough draft of the recipe.

Yes, that's bacon on top!!!!!!
