Divide the batter among the muffin tin (I ended up with 18 cupcakes) and bake until a toothpick inserted into the center of the cupcake comes out clean, about 20 minutes. Let cool.
Meanwhile, using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese and sugar until creamy. Spread on the cupcakes and tip each with a piece of candy corn.
They smell fabulous while baking thus making it easy to enjoy...many cupcakes!

If I worked in your office, I'd try to plan potlucks as often as possible just so I can see and consume what you bring to share!

I love pumpkin anything so I am pretty sure these would have a shelf-life of, oh, a whole day, around here!
Have fun with your shindig!
Oh how I wish I had your mad skills in the kitchen! You have combined 2 of my favorite things-candy corns & cream cheese frosting. I am sure that everyone devoured them! Love you.
