I got the idea for this cupcake combo from my favorite inspiration website, Cake Central.  The cupcake is a delicate, light pumpkin spice cake filled with a lightly sweetened latte whipped cream (made with stabilized real whipped cream, flavored with expresso–yum!), then topped with a vanilla-bean cream cheese frosting. The cream cheese adds a perfect zing to the warm spice of the cake and the creamy sweetness of the filling.

When you crave your favorite pumpkin latte drink this time of year, sink your teeth into one of these!
