Sweet Potato Pie Cupcakes with Marshmallow Frosting. True story: I have never eaten sweet potato pie.
I’ve never even seen a sweet potato pie. I’ve never been in the same room as a sweet potato pie. I’ve never tried to make my own sweet potato pie. I’ve never even looked at a recipe for sweet potato pie. The closest I’ve ever come to sweet potato pie is belting out James Taylor’s song (holy old school throwback vid) in my bathroom with the awesome echoing acoustics. But since I take pictures of my food and like to pretend that I know what I’m doing while giving all real chefs a bad name, I made sweet potato pie cupcakes. Annnnd I think I should be given a gold star for making a dessert with a vegetable. I’m really hoping one of you lovely fellows who have tasted sweet potato pie… or maybe those of you that are sweet potato pie connoisseurs… will make these cupcakes and tell me if I came anywhere close to sweet potato pie.
These are anything but barfy, but I’m whiny and needy today and need reassurance. Print Save Yield: makes 12 cupcakes. Peanut Butter Frosting Recipe. Champagne Cupcakes with Strawberry Champagne Frosting. We’re celebrating this week.

A year and a half ago, I would not have believed you if you told me that this was the direction my life would take me in. I had a BA in International Affairs and a job in a related field. So I’m leaving DC and moving back to my hometown of Philadelphia for grad school. I just want to take a moment to thank all the people who have helped and supported me. To celebrate, I would like to offer a toast to all these people. The cupcakes are light and airy, and the frosting packs a wallop of strawberry flavor.
