Nutmeg Ginger Pumpkin Cupcakes

Tried out a new recipe, which turned out AMAZING. These cupcakes were light and fluffy inside and had a great spice flavor!  The frosting was quite the experiment though.  I used coconut oil in its solid form (instead of the hydrogenated "crisco" or butter)...and added powdered sugar (that had been in the freezer).  So, I had lumps, of oil. :(  (Coconut oil is very temperature sensitive.) After leaving the mixture sit for a while, so everything could come to room temperature, I whizzed it in the mixer with a little almond milk and some pure vanilla extract and some vanilla bean.  The end result had good flavor, however not a "fluffy" frosting.
