About 4 1/4 c. powdered sugar, sifted

Beat cream cheese, butter, vanilla and food colorings in medium bowl with mixer until well blended. Gradually beat in sugar until well blended. Arrange cupcakes on large platter to resemble a stemmed pumpkin (two cupcakes will make the stem). Frost with creamed cheese mixture. Use green colored sugar to fill in stem.
