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 would love to try some of the things that you bake! If only I could make the time for them…the bake sales at school would be extremely successful!

Oh my goodness, these look so good! I just went to the grocery store this morning, but I think I might have to go back for some canned pumpkin so I can make these…
These look delicious!! Hooray for chocolate, pumpkin and dancing in the kitchen!! 🙂
I love making “Goodies”….I am going to try these awesome cupcakes next.
i would love to win!
the frosting are clouds of perfection! i want to dive right in! i need to go get a 2D tip now!
These look great, yum!
Those look so delicious! 🙂
I agree with Tipper…chocolate + pumpkin = awesomeness. I think a pumpkin-chocolate chip layer cake is next on my to-bake list (before the holidays take over at the bakery and I have zero free time to bake at home)! And those caramels are beautiful!
Cinnamon, chocolate AND pumpkin…did you read my diary?? These sound amazing! Can’t wait to try the recipe.
