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.
The cupcakes look so good!!
I love home made caramels!
I have been having a major pumpkin craving now that fall is officially in swing. This sounds like the perfect combination of flavors!
Those look amazing! I will have to try them!
These look amazing! Can’t wait to try them. I love getting your email with something to try!
I’ve never had chocolate and caramel together but it sounds amazing.
I love baking books. I can’t cook, but I love to bake and can never seen to get enough. Thanks for the opportunity, Amanda!
Those look delightful! And they sound amazing together! I love chocolate and pumpkin – I think I’ll have to make some!
