Salted Caramel Cupcakes

Last week was Aman's birthday, and for that I decided to try out some new cupcakes.  I love salted caramel anything - I think the combo is to die for! - so I found a recipe online for salted caramel cupcakes that sounded tasty and went for it.  The cake is a vanilla cake which is not too sweet so it works well with the frosting which is made from making caramel and then adding it into a buttercream.  Then I topped them with fleur de sel to give that oh so good salty contrast to the caramel flavor in the frosting.

I think they turned out pretty good!  It seemed like everyone liked them!  Happy Birthday Aman!

p.s. I have A LOT of caramel leftover so now I need to make something else so it doesn't go to waste! hummmmmmmmmmmm...
