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.
As always, they look totally delish!!! I know how good chocolate and pumpkin go together~~~U r so awesome to make caramels from scratch!!!U totally rock girl!!!
here’s hoping 🙂
I tried to make caramels last week. Unfortunately I live in a place where I cannot find butter, or heavy creme. I tried without…but it wasn’t so impressive. I want your caramels! Are you going to share the recipe for them?
YUMMY! I love the sound of caramel, pumpkin, and chocolate!
These cupcakes look amazing, how did you do that with the 2D tip ? It’s so fluffy. I have a recipe for caramel and this makes me want to try it
I love love love pumpkin. Can’t wait to try this out!
The book sounds awesomely delicious if it has things like Pumpkins Caramels in it. I have also never tried to make caramels because it always seems like I would easily mess it up. However since today is my birthday (really it is) I would love to win this book and try the caramel recipe since you said that it was not that hard. Plus I LOVE anything pumpkin. Thanks for the chance to win.
Ok, those cupcakes look good, but the pumpkin caramels.. oh my goodness! Going on my “to do” list!
There is a local candy store in my hometown and whenever my dad or myself wanders in we always pick up a piece of caramel for the other person. How neat to be able to make him some caramels of my very own!!!
Mm, this all looks beautiful and delicious!
