Pecan Pie Cupcakes
Traci is an amazing baker. This year for Thanksgiving she made some pecan pie cupcakes to take to our friends’ house where we were celebrating, and they were awesome! They were perfect size morsels of pecan pie in the form of a cupcake. I’m salivating now just thinking about them. To top them, she made a delicious boozy maple bourbon buttercream frosting. Needless to say, they were a hit and did not last long.
