These are Pumpkin Chocolate cupcakes with Cinnamon Buttercream and Pumpkin Caramels on top!
Having never have made caramels before, the process seemed daunting.
But I got this new book, Sweet Confections by Nina Wanat and knew I wanted to try. Her directions are easy to follow and the photography was done by the amazing Todd and Diane of White on Rice.
The pictures are enough to make you drop everything and run to the store for supplies.
These tasted amazing. Ah-mazing.
I remembered I had some of these fun fee-standing cupcake liners and I literally danced over to my supply closet to retrieve them.
Um, I like baking. And cupcake liners. And dancing in my kitchen. And eating pumpkin caramels.
I used an open star tip (2D) to pipe out big clouds of cinnamon frosting. Then I simply went back and added a caramel square to each cupcake.
I almost cried when you said you wouldn’t share the pumpkin caramel recipe, but then rejoiced when I saw you were giving a copy of the book away! They sound delicious and I REALLY want to try them. 😀
Yum! It is Canadian Thanksgiving next weekend and I am getting ready to make a couple of pumpkin pies – I keep one plain and augment the other with chocolate and walnuts. These cupcakes sound like another delicious pumpkin chocolate combo 🙂
Oh, I would love to have this book! Those caramels look amazing. 😀
I’d love to win. These look amazing, by the way!
What a great idea to use the panettone liners instead of cupcake cups! These look so good!
What a perfect fall treat! Those cupcakes look decadent 🙂
They just look too too beautiful to eat but I’m sure I could force one down:). Thanks for the recipe. I’m going to make some for my Bunco Babes in October!!
I am trying to hold myself back from the cupcake liners! I love them! and carmel but I really love cupcake liners 🙂
Love your awesome recipes! I always smile when I see you’ve posted something new!
