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.
Sign me up! Those look delicious:)
The cupcakes are beautiful!
Those cupcakes look amazing! I have a great recipe for pumpkin cupcakes with chocolate cream cheese icing, so this reminded me of those! I’d love the book too! 🙂
Love this idea — I am such a fan of fall foods & I love the idea of pumpkin caramels.
Scrummy!
I have always wanted to make caramels! My best friend makes incredible ones – but I have always been too scared to try! Hopefully with this book I finally will…
Sooooo wanted something to bake this weekend that was “fallish” and this is it!! Can’t wait to be lavished with “oooo’s” and “aaaaahh’s” when I show up with these. LOL This book would be a sweet (sorry ’bout that pun) addition to my cookbook collection! Thanks for one of the best blogs ever!!
Hi!
Wow! Beautiful work as always!! Caramels do sound good right about now…
Pumpkin is everywhere! Yay!
