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.
This dessert looks so amazing, I love cookbooks, and this would be a great one to add to the few that I already have
I can never decide what the best thing about fall is…but baking with pumpkin is definately one of the best! Caramel and pumkin sounds like a match made in heaven to me! I look forward to making these cupcakes! Thank you! 🙂
The cupcakes are super cute and look amazing with the caramels on top! I need to get my hands on that cookbook!! 🙂
i would love to win that cookbook! sounds so cool to make your own candy too!!!! 🙂
Those look amazing! I think I will have to try them.
Yum!
The cupcakes look so pretty and so yummy! All of your stuff is beautiful, I wish I had a pinky tip of your decorating talent – so elegant and simple.
I have some of those liners! So now I’ll have to make these cupcakes. And hopefully I’ll win the book so I can make the pumpkin caramels to go on top!
I’d love to try caramels again! Thanks for the giveaway.
Great giveaway!
