For frosting: 8 oz cream cheese, softened. 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened. 4 cups powdered sugar. 1 tsp vanilla extract. Ground cinnamon and orange sprinkles for decoration.

Instructions: Warm the oven up to 350F 175C and put paper liners in a cupcake pan. Put flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger in a bowl and mix them together with a whisk. Put away.

Mix the softened butter and cream cheese together in a bowl until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You can keep beating it until it is smooth and fluffy after you add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Once the cupcakes are cool, pipe or spread the frosting on them. Add some ground cinnamon and orange sprinkles to make it look nice. Enjoy your tasty Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with a Fall theme!
