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.
Awesome! Thanks for the giveaway! Everything you do is AMAZING!
Those look divine! I think I will make them this weekend for Canadian Thanksgiving
I love pumpkin and caramel…so it sounds like a perfect combination!
chocolate and pumpkin!! Two of my faves:) I can’t wait to start baking for Fall and will definitely try these:)
Pumpkin + Chocolate + Cinnamon = Delicious……they look spectacular…and my mouth is watering just thinking of what they must taste like, especially those pumpkin caramels…that is awesome!
Your desserts always look so amazing!!
Fall is my favorite simply because of pumpkin!!!
Pumpkin caramels? I NEED this book!
Omiword. We are alot alike. Because I like to bake. and I like cupcake liners. And I really like dancing in my kitchen. Alot. And caramel. I now need to try a pumpkin caramel.
Caramel & pumpkin are beautiful together! I can bake cupcakes all day long, but I really need to get over my fear of cooking sugar so I can make things like caramels, fudge, and other candies! Gorgeous cupcakes, as usual 🙂
