These cupcakes are inspired in real pumpkins growing in top soil (dark chocolate frosting) and wrapped individually to eat them at the moment or to take home. I made these cupcakes to surprise Mara at her last  JV Volleyball game, so she could share them with her teammates.
 
However; since they look so seasonal, you can make them this week to serve at home or you could bring them to a Thanksgiving dinner that you were invited.
