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.
Um yeah…I also love baking. And cupcake liners. And dancing in my kitchen. I’m sure I would love those caramels and book, too!
Those cupcakes and caramels look DELICIOUS.
Hmmm, caramel. I’ve been having a daily dose of salted carmel in homemade pumpkin spice lattes. So good! Thanks for the chance at the book.
Oh my goodness. This combination of deliciousness is making me crazy!! Must have.
P.S. I like to dance in the kitchen too 🙂
These look amazing! I’m always trying to keep an eye out for new pumpkin recipes.
Just found a bunch of canned pumpkin and can’t wait to try these!
Oh my gosh! Pumpkin, chocolate, cinnamon, and caramel all at once?? Heaven!
those look crazy good… I’d dive into one in a heartbeat!
Oh man. Those look amazing. This is the second time I’ve seen a reference to this book in the last week. Regardless of the outcome of this giveaway (thank you for that, BTW), this book is going on my wish list!!
these look so good!
