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.
Oh, wow! These look so good! I may have to bake them in the very near future!
Caramel + pumpkin + chocolate = 3 of my favorite things! This recipe sounds divine
So yummy looking! I just may have to make these. Thanks for you beautiful recipes!!!
I would love to learn to make more candy! These look so good, especially the caramels and buttercream.
Well, since you’re not going to print the recipe on the blog, you’ll just have to pick my name and send me that book. I have a serious addiction to all things caramel 😉
These cupcakes look and sound divine!
The cupcakes look very yummy, I love pumpkin and cinnamom. Enjoy your blog!!

I didn’t know it was possible to make pumpkin caramels. Sounds great!
I LOVE that beautiful cloud of frosting! So dramatic!
