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.
I have also never tried making caramels but have always wanted to! I love chocolate and pumpkin! Can’t wait to make these!!
They look so good!!!
I love pumpkin. My favorite is a pumpkin roll cake with cream cheese icing – – oh so yummy. I have never thought about this combo. Would love to win the book. Can’t wait for yours.
Yum! These look sooooo good!
Oh wow, those look a.m.a.z.i.n.g! Fingers crossed………
I wanna make caramels!!! YUM!
Ohhhhh emmmmmm geeeeeeee! Wow! Once I get my own kitchen I wanna be like you fab with the fat :))) these creations look to DIE for. I want! I want! You have inspired me to take my simple baking to the next level there are no limits 🙂

I love the wrappers you used around the pumpkin cupcakes. They bring back such memories, we used to use them in one of the restaurants I worked in every day 🙂
