  nice recipe! added extra zest and lest cinnamon. I also added some freshly grated ginger, and put some white chocolate chips just before putting them in the oven. The chocolate works really well. I did a cream cheese buttercream frosting and decorated them with white chocolate buttons! they were amazing!!

  I was a bit sceptical but wanted to try something new so tested it out on my colleagues at work and had rave reviews! They all wanted a copy of the recipe. I left out the sultanas as a personal preference and it still worked just as well!

  Absolutely gorgeous. Just as nice without the frosting, if you're after a lighter version!

  Lovely recipe and excellent flavor. Our Sweet Meat squash were prolific this year and I used that in this recipe. The next batch will be modified for cranberries rather than sultanas and a dab of grated ginger.

  What a treat! These were so easy to make and turned out beautifully! They tasted exceptionally good and were moist and delicious! A lovely change to the usual flavours of muffins/fairy cakes.

  Made this exactly as per the recipe as 1 granddaughter can't have dairy or soya and they all loved it. Next time I'll make it in a tin and serve it as a pudding with custard. A nice change to carrot cake.

  Used butternut squash instead of pumpkin and added a little more zest - they were absolutely delicious. Will definitely be making again.

  I used smaller baking cases, this mix made about 35 fairy cake size. Quite nice. Very simple and quick to make. If you have no pumpkin or butternut squash, I would think you could use carrot. This recipe is very similar to one I use for carrot cake

  I made these last night and took them into work today. They've gone down a treat. Tasting the mix I thought there might be too much cinnamon, but they tasted fine. An easy way to transport them is to put the topping in a tub, and put it on at your destination!

  Gorgeous - really moist and good flavour. I was using pumpkin left over from another recipe and only had about 100g so topped it up with grated carrot to make the 200g.

  These are fab, I followed the recipie to the letter & didn't add anything (unusual for me). Made them to take to a bonfire party and they went down a treat.
