Hope everyone had an awesome Halloween! With the help of my little buddy Dracula we made these dreadfully tasty cupcakes. These little guys have 3 parts to them the pumpkin pie frosting, the vanilla cake and last but not least the graham cracker crust. My favorite part would have to be the crust but the frosting came in as a very close second for sure! The frosting is actually just pumpkin pie and you can either use store bought or make your own. I made this frosting last year for my Chocolate Pumpkin Cupcakes but this time instead of using the Libby's recipe I went with the one from the Une-Deux Senses blog and the link to that is below :)

I found it easiest to make the cake batter first then the crust :)
The Goods
1 3/4cups sifted cake flour (I accidentally used regular flour and they came out just fine)
In another large bowl whisk together the eggs, egg white, vanilla, and the remaining milk. Add this mixture in 3 additions, mixing 2mins on med. speed after each addition. Then set aside for later.
Now for the Graham Cracker Crust!!
Add about a tablespoon of the mixture into the bottom of each cupcake liner and bake for 5minutes until the graham crackers are golden.
Now grab your pumpkin pie and (gently) toss it in a piping bag and frost away!!!

| A juice glass is the peftect size for smushing the crust down. |
Remove from the oven then fill about 1/2 full with the cake batter. Bake for 15-18mins rotating halfway through the bake time. Let them cool completely before frosting.
