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. Â 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. Â 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. Â And cupcake liners. Â And dancing in my kitchen. Â And eating pumpkin caramels.
I used an open star tip (2D) to pipe out big clouds of cinnamon frosting. Â Then I simply went back and added a caramel square to each cupcake.
Those look amazing! You are such a talented baker. I would love to have one tiny bite of those delicious looking treats. I have such the sweet tooth. I am always looking for good recipes! Thank you so much for sharing your baking knowledge! Love your blog!
Heavenly looking. Caramel is my favorite.
I love pumpkin and anything baked with it:))) I would like to try pumpkin cookies and hope the book will give me some ideas…
Perfect for fall!
