[quote=Captain Jordan] If by "judges" you mean my fellow students, yeah. Then again, I have a feeling none of them did much baking in their short lives anyway. What would you suggest instead of the canned pumpkin? [/quote] [i]Cupcake Wars Tip #2:[/i] Use the pumpkin in the frosting, not the dough. Taste without cummy/goopy texture. [quote=Doivid] no you stopanything with pumpkin is okay in my book [/quote] I didn't say to exclude the pumpkin from the cupcake, that would be irresponsible. STOP PANICKING, we can still have pumpkin cupcakes, they just need to be made up to the judge's standards.
