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.
Great. Another candy to add to the ever growing list of candies to make for my holiday gift boxes. And another cookbook to drool over when I’m out at the shop. You are either the bane of my existence, or my secret soul mate. Just thought you should know.
These looks sooo amazing – I must make them asap!
YUM! These sound so amazing. Can’t wait to go to the grocery store so I can try these!
I would love to win!
I could always use a new cookbook! Thanks for the opportunity!
Wow…I don’t know if could dare compare to those works of art!
Sounds delightful! Looks like some nice gift giving ideas in that book!
Yum! Those look great!
I have never thought of pumpkin caramel..genius.
These look amazing! I’m pregnant and crave caramel all day everyday!
