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.


OMG that looks like a great book..so yummy..
Those look delicious! I love when fall comes around and all the pumpkin stuff is out
Wow, these look fantastic!! I am going to try them
Yummmm. I can’t wait to try out the recipes!
Oh, this would be a perfect addition so I can make recipes for the Holidays!
You just made me drool! I thought that only happened with nail polish LOL!
WOW! I’m actually drooling a little bit in my mouth! These look SOOOOOO good! Too bad my husband doesn’t like pumpkin very much. I just might have to eat them all myself . . . 🙂
I would love to win! Thanks so much for the chance!!!
Pumpkin Chocolate Carmel? Yes Please! I can’t wait to try these!
Those look delicious! I want some.
AMAZING. I love the Panettone paper molds. I did not know they existed in that size. You did a lovely job documenting and the caramel on top is too cute.
And THANKS!–the chance for a book is super exciting too!
My best to you- Megan
