Martha has come through! If you read my last Martha cupcake post you may recall that I was on the verge of breaking ties with Martha and her cupcake book but these pumpkin cupcakes with its browned butter glaze has put us back on solid ground. Did you catch that? Browned butter glaze? Yes? It’s even better than it sounds but honestly, the pumpkin cupcakes were wonderful on their own. They were moist and tender but not overly so. Darn near perfect.
Monica and I have been baking from Martha’s book for a few months now but this go round Babygirl actually whipped these up Friday night pretty much all by herself. We made four mini bundts and six cupcakes which we left until the morning to glaze.
No lie. I glazed (Ha, if you can call it that.) them Saturday morning and by that night they were gone. All gone. We’re still wondering were they all.
Looking for the recipe? Click here. Double bonus you not only get the recipe but you get to drool over Monica’s stellar photos.
Oh, yeah, my comment about the “glazing”? Martha’s “glaze” was more like frosting and even when I added more cream to thin it out it was still thick. Check out my bundts. I seriously stink at glazes. I either make them too thin or too thick which wouldn’t be so bad if I didn’t figure it out until after I poured it on.

That overhead shot of the mini bundt looks like a heavily glazed donut- oh my! I love how yours turned out. I want to make these again using the glaze. yummy!
I loved this cupcake and I'm glad you did too! Yeah for Martha! Hopefully the next ones wil be just as good.
What cute shapes! Those cupcakes look fabulous! Mmmhhh...
Cheers,
Rosa
This is so mouthwatering!
I saw these on Monica's web site and I agree, they look delicious. I'm glad that Martha finally coughed up a good recipe.
Thank god Martha finally came through ;)
I'm glad the cupcakes turned out - they look delicious.
I find Martha's recipes to swing in extremes; either they're great or their gross. Glad you found a great one. Love the mini bundt cakes. How festive is that!
Not near perfect - they ARE perfect. So yummy with all the frosting on top.
Mini bundts are one of my very favourite things - I wonder if they might become the next cupcake - they're just so darn cute! The 'glaze' (yes, looks more like icing really) makes those things!
Yours look stellar also.. Your raves convinced me to try them. So nice when a recipe works out so well, isnt it? Hers have been hit or miss with me for years. Im always afraid to waste my butter on her without reading loads of reviews first..but in you I trust:)
i will be trying these based on this post alone! yummmmmyyyyy!!
These look fantastic!!! I love your glaze too, a little thickness doesn't hurt anyone!!!
You glaze..thick or thin..looks finger lickin good
So glad you haven't given up on Martha!
These are looking divine! Brown butter glaze cannot help but be delcious!
I think your glaze looks delicious & perfect! I may have to try this one. I can see my Martha book from here. ;)
Oh Ingrid-these look sooo yummy! I'm glad you haven't given up on Martha, and I'm sure your family is too after devouring all the delicious muffins! This is certainly a must try!
Your pics are awesome, especially the one of your mini bundts. :)
mini bundts are so cute, and the perfect serving size for me. i would, of course, require twice as much frosting/glaze, but that's just me. :)
These look so delicious! And it reminded me that I have a mini bundt pan somewhere in my pantry that I should dig out to make these! And your pictures are great too!
Yeah, finally Martha came through for you! These look wonderful! I love the mini bundts...too cute! Babygirl did a great job!
Ummm --- WOWOW
Can I have some??
Oh my Ingrid - they look fabulous! I love pumpkin and the glaze looks delish too! Trying these soon :)
oh how you rock! these look FANTASTIC...
The doughnuts are insane!
Mmm. I love yours and Monica's and they seem so different! I really like that you did them as baby bundts though. I have a mini bundt pan that I forget I even have cause it gets so little use.
these look delightful! i love, love brown butter!
Yay, I'm glad these turned out so well, they look incredible! I much prefer a thick glaze/frosting to a thin one!
These look delicious and sound heavenly- I mean honestly anything that combines brown butter and winter squash is alright in my books. As for the glaze, I prefer more than less, so it looks great to me!
i want to take a big bite, these look soooo good, and pretty!
I'm so glad these worked for you. Martha and I have a great relationship as of right now. She's been 4 for 4 with me on cupcakes. Keep going and you'll see how delicious they can be=)
Martha's pumpkin cupcakes are the absolute best. Your's look perfect.
Pumpkin cupcakes make everything better.
I was listening to the hippo song when I wrote the post!
These look so delightful!! The first picture makes them look like popovers! I have been meaning on making that brown butter glaze.
I told Monica on her blog I'm making these for Thanksgiving, they look wonderful Ingrid! I love the mini bundt pans, I need those hee hee!
Ingrid,
I am so glad you didn't give up. I just knew you find success. Baby Girl did a fantastic job. The mini bunts are too cute. BTW your picture are awesome
Mimi
I love a thick glaze like this! The sight of it dripping down the sides is irresistible! A definitely delicious winner!
Ingrid I love your glaze it looks great to me. I like it on the thicker side so that it all stays on my cake, all the more for me. I am happy you finally found a good Martha cupcake, yay!!
So glad you loved these! I thought they were incredible. I am still planning on making them into a cake.
You and Monica are killing me! I must make something with pumpkin, and these look sinfully good.
I'm jealous!
I love them in mini-bundt form! Too cute! Glad you've finally found a recipe you liked!
Indeed I want this recipe! THey look amazing.
It would be interesting to cook her whole book and see how many were a thumbs up and how many were down.
I see nothing wrong with your glaze. And apparently everyone else say yummy as they are all gone.
Oh my gosh. I forgot to give a shout-out to your baby girl for the accomplished baker she's becoming! Shame on me. Tell her she rocks! :)
They look terrific. Love the glaze (frosting?)whatever, it looks delicious. I will have to give these a try. My son loves pumpkin...
Yum! The glaze (I'll call it icing) looks beautiful! Your mini bundts look like donuts! (I love them.) I may have to make these.
Hi Ingrid, Everything is AMAZING...Start to finish...just fantastic. & your 'Baby Girl' is so talented just like her mommy ! Gosh...I wish I could own all these cook books in a day. I was thinking i will buy one book I love to bits every month...
I'm glad you found a cupcake that works for you!!
the pumpkin cupcake and brown butter glaze sound awesome!
*drool* Brown butter glaze sounds just awesome! The cupcakes look super :)
Hey Ingrid, this is A :)
YES!!! The Yankees win...in John Sterling's words: Theeeeee Yankeeeeees Wiiinnnnnn :) I have recorded the game and I watch the final out or Matsui's 2R HR off Pedro and and then leave for work...it kind of brightens my day :D
How are your kids doing? Do they look up to any particular player(s)?
And oh btw, the cupcakes look good but I must say that the glaze...is mindblowing!!!!
The mini bundts look just like glazed donuts!!! Oh my, that's heaven right there.
Oh good - I am glad these turned out for you. I just made pumpkin muffins, I am wishing they would have had this glaze.
mmm.. you reminded how long it's been since I've had a donut. your cupcakes look really good!
I've included this in my Friday Favorites post! I can't wait to try that icing! :)
How beautiful is that crumb look. Love the yellowish color too.
Oh, my!! I can smell those just by looking at the pics. Too bad I can't just eat them too. This is going in my to-try file right now.
Yep those look about perfect!!! I'm so loving that frosting!
I'm so glad you found one you like!! They look amazing - I need to try them!
I think the glaze looks perfect! Love the last pic! Glad Martha is finally stepping up to the plate for you! LOL
Those look yummy I plan for my first cupcake to be the blondie ones will make them in December
those look great....and yummy...I'm hungry for something sweet with a cup of coffee right now! :)
Oh.my.goodness.!!!! I'm sitting here drooling on my keyboard! Your glaze is the only glaze I ever want on my pastries!!! YUM!!
These look divine...and since I just got this baking book I am all over this recipe!
I have that glaze problem too.
These look great, although your comments about the book now have me hovering with indecision over whether I ever want it. But yum, pumpkin, I love pumpkin anything....
I will take the glaze, please. Wow. That looks good.
I am SO HAPPY to hear that a recipe finally worked out for you. I have the book but haven't made anything from it yet and you were starting to scare me! :o)
That last photo really shows how great the cake turned out. Love how it looks!
This looks perfect. This looks moist and so yummy. You rock, Ingrid!
Haha! I thought the bundts were donuts at first! I was like, "Whaaat?! Pumpkin donuts?!" then I realized they were still cakes and I was just as excited, 'cause really, you can't go wrong with cake. I think your icing/glaze looks yum-tastic. I like nice, thick icing, so it's just right for me! (Usually I accidentally make my glazes too thin, and wind up doing a couple layers of glaze! Hahaha!)
The mini bundt looks like a yummy doughnut! :D
