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.
Thanks for the opportunity to win! I LOVE your website.
Those look DIVINE!!! I’m on a major pumpkin fetish right now and those are right up my alley 🙂
I love your blog and can’t wait to try some of your recipes! thanks for all the fun work you do and share with us.
I love caramel!
I love pumpkin, caramels, candy and cupcakes! All the best stuff!
I absolutely love your blog! Caramels are my husband’s favorite treat, so I’d love to try pumpkin caramels.
Most awesome pictures and goodies here! 🙂 I love those liners…
Obviously, I’m a huge proponent of copyright laws, but I find it frustrating when a cooking blog showcases a recipe and then can’t list it. Sadly disappointed. Maybe the miniscule chance that I’ll win the book will make up for it.

Those looks so yummy! I am craving something pumpkin but this weather is still so warm…it’s messing up my whole “Autumn Feeling”!! LOL!
