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.
Sounds marvelous! My pregnant belly is grumbling and my mouth is watering.
Those look delicious! Great pictures.
Caramels, pumpkin, and chocolate! Doesn’t get much better.
Those look scrumptious! I just had surgery and I’m not allowed in the kitchen yet and I’m dying to get back in and bake those!!! 🙁 i bake every day, so this week is going to be torture.
That book sounds incredible!
I most DEFINITELY am trying these! They look so yummy!
love those liners!!
Yum!
These look amazing! Pumpkin caramels? I’m so excited for fall!
Could you make something I DON’T want to try immediately?! 😉 Thank you for inspiring me!
Pumpkin caramels sound delicious!
