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.
A must try for sure! Yummy!
Oh how I love caramels and Pumpkin Caramels – oh my goodness. I’m dying over here. Thanks so much for linking them up in the Holiday Recipe Exchange!
I just wanted to follow up to say these turned out fantastic. I made them for my daughter’s birthday and adult and child alike loved them. It made more than 24, so I used the rest of the batter for a cake and made cake balls.
Thanks again!
Oh my goodness! These look amazing! You are really too much 🙂 So fun to finally meet you a few weeks ago. You are hilarious my friend!
How many cupcakes does this recipe yield?

These look awesome, but there don’t seem to be any ingredients listed. It might just be me, but I wanted to be sure….
I am sorry, there seem to be some glitches with the new blog… working on trying to fix it!
I think these sound amazing…but I am not seeing the recipe or ingredients…instead I am seeing a recipe foe basic sugar cookies…do I need to go to another post for the cupcake recipe?
Uh… Where did the cupcake recipe go?
Aw! I was really hoping to make these for Thanksgiving, but there doesn’t appear to be a recipe any more? 🙁
