Pumpkin spice lattes, s'mores, apple cider and now .... brown sugar butterscotch cupcakes.
My Fall is complete.
These cupcakes from Sally'sBakingAddiction.com are unbelievable. Moist brown sugar cake, dripping with rich, homemade butterscotch and topped with creamy buttercream - these cupcakes are the essence of Fall.
OK, so maybe I'm not ready to replace my caramel apples and pumpkin roll just yet but I am definitely going to be adding these cupcakes to my Fall baking regiment.
