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.
They look so pretty! There’s just something different in the air when fall comes around. It makes me want to eat sweet baked potatoes w/brown sugar and roast marshmallows for smores.
Those look amazing and I have been on a serious caramel kick lately. I would love to try pumpkin caramel!
Seriously. Amazing. Looking. Foodstuffs. Yum!
Ooh, so yummy!
That looks fantastic!
These sound amazing. I have a feeling I’ll be making them next weekend. Yum! 🙂
Those look amazing! I love pumpkin and I love caramel…two of my favorite flavors! I will definitely be giving these a try! Thanks for sharing!
I am loving all the pumpkin goodies! 😀
Hmm, never thought to put chocolate with pumpkin. I will have to try this!
