Spiced Pumpkin Cupcakes | Waitrose & Partners

Partner and Food Editor Silvana Franco bakes and decorates these little ghost cupcakes made with pumpkin and a touch of spice for Halloween. These could work at any time of year though by using canned pumpkin instead of fresh, and icing the top of each cupcake rather than decorating them as ghosts.
