It’s easy to get carried away during the holidays – trust me, when my family of 30-something people get together for the holidays, we have, like, 5 different desserts, a huge turkey, yummy Vietnamese food, and a showcase of side items (my family is full of talented cooks and bakers!).  Ooph, I already feel my jeans getting tighter just thinking of it!  

Here’s an easy way to still eat the things you like but not feel deprived – portion size!  I found these cute bon-bon baking cups in the craft store, and thought, what better way to share than to make a whole bunch of mini pumpkin cupcakes with cinnamon cream cheese frosting for my work?  These bite-sized morsels are things you need not fret about – you can eat two and it’s still less than one cupcake.  Dainty and delectable as petit fours, they’ll be sure to please!
