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.
Oh my goodness! Those sound amazing. My mom’s birthday is coming up this month, may just have to make these for her…….
WHOA! beautiful little cupcakes! I am craving one so badly that I can almost taste them… 😀
Ooh, pick me! pick me!
Cinnamon buttercream… yes, please.
i love caramels, especially if they’re flavored with something else. 🙂
These look gorgeous!
Oh my goodness, that looks delicious!
These look great! And what are the odds, I’ve been thinking about trying my hand at some caramel. I would love that book!
oooooooooh caramel. Yummmmm!
That looks scrumptious!!
