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.
I love caramel! Would like to try this recipe.
Oh, good heavens. I TOO like baking…and cupcake liners…AND dancing in my kitchen!!
Love Love Love!!!! I have to make!!
Yum! Caramel and pumpkin always remind me of my Grandmother house.
These look divine! I can’t wait to make them!
The cupcakes look yummy. I will have to try them. I love this time of year and all the wonderful recipes with pumpkin.
Those cupcakes with carmels look devine! Why is it that we only really use pumpkin in the fall? I guess it keeps it special.
These cupcakes are gorgeous and look delicious!
Wow…beautiful!
This looks amazing! I love to bake and I love cupcake wrappers too. Thanks for sharing!
