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.
Those cupcakes look delicious!! I am getting in the baking mood as well! I love the holidays! 🙂
Love your blog…these look super yummy! Hope to win the great giveaway. Thanks!
Mmmm, cinnamon and pumpkin and caramels, that’s a taste of fall. They look amazing.
I can’t wait to try two of my favorite flavors together. You are very talented and ah-mazing yourself!!!

Beautiful cakes. Where did you get the pretty (unique) paper for them? I am guessing you made them?
