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 am currently on the hunt for my favorite pumpkin cupcake recipe! I will for sure have to try these! And I sure would LOVE to have the caramel recipe too!
Tis the season. These look fabulous and my girls and I love your site. Blessings to you! Thank you 🙂
Pumpkin? Ooh, please pick me!!
They looks amazingly wonderful. I must try this recipe!!
These sound devine! I can’t wait to try out the recipe.
Yum. I love the twist of using pumpkin with caramel instead of apple.
Pumpkin Season is my favorite season!
These look amazing! I would love to try to make those caramels as well!
These look delicious and perfect for fall. I was wondering what to do with my pumpkin for sunday coffee. Now I know! Thank you so much for the inspiration. You are amazing! Not only today but, with every post you do, you inspire me to be better in the kitchen and therefore everywhere else.
Love from Germany
Those look wonderful.
