You can choose some really festive and fun linersthanksgiving-dessert-pumpkin-cupcakes to complement your place setting, or go with elegant white liners. You can even do what we did and remove some of the cupcakes from the liners for a more rustic look! Also, if you want something a little sweeter as the frosting, make a delicious sweet cream cheese frosting by combining whipped cream cheese and honey until it reaches your desired sweetness. I make this all the time just for dipping my fruit into!
