Cupcake Wars Tip #1: Avoid using goopy and "wet" () ingredients like bananas or pureed pumpkin in your cupcake, unless absolutely necessary, they generally turn out goopy and wet to the judges.

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?

Cupcake Wars Tip #2: Use the pumpkin in the frosting, not the dough. Taste without cummy/goopy texture.

You made cupcakes for reasons other than Cupcake Wars?

What a good way to lose Cupcake Wars.
