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. Â 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. Â 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. Â And cupcake liners. Â And dancing in my kitchen. Â And eating pumpkin caramels.
I used an open star tip (2D) to pipe out big clouds of cinnamon frosting. Â Then I simply went back and added a caramel square to each cupcake.
Those look beautiful!
I’d love to win it for my daughter … so she can make yummy creations for me to try
I would love to own a copy of this book! My fall baking needs a good push!
Mmmm..those look sooo good! Before noticing that you had a giveway, I immediately checked to see if my library carries Sweet Confections. I was sad to learn that they do not. *sad face* After making caramel sauce this morning, those pumpkin caramels sound perfect. 🙂
Love love love the season of pumpkins! Can’t wait to try this!
This page is agony for a diabetic! At least I can make them and maybe make someone else happy!! Thanks!!!
Pumpkin is my favorite thing to eat, and I love any new recipe with pumpkin in it.
Pick me!!! I want this book LOTS!
These look awesome! I need to get better at baking 🙂
I love every sweet thing presented in this post (and this blog), Amanda! The pumpkin caramels alone are reason for me to look into this book – that sounds like the best thing right now. 🙂
