I Tried Making Homemade Hostess Iced Pumpkin Cupcakes | Claire Recreates In this episode of Claire Recreates, Claire takes on the new-ish Hostess Iced Pumpkin Cupcake and makes it completely from scratch at home. Every fall, this limited-edition treat shows up in grocery stores and reminds us that pumpkin season has officially started. Claire dives into what makes it so nostalgic - the spiced pumpkin cake, the creamy filling, and that signature orange icing swirl -then recreates each element in her own kitchen. You’ll see how she builds the cupcake step by step, from baking the soft pumpkin base to mixing the fluffy cream center and topping it with a smooth icing. She also shares a few tricks for getting the flavor and texture as close as possible to the original. Whether you’ve been waiting all year for pumpkin desserts or just love seeing classic snacks get a homemade twist, this one will make you want to preheat your oven. Watch until the end to see if Claire can match the look and taste of the real Hostess version, and find out how her homemade cupcakes compare.
