The other posts are right, it does set up quickly. I wonder if it would set up so fast if it didn't boil so hard. At any rate, it is so sweet we couldn't eat it, and set up so quickly I had to blob it over the cake.

I made this for my husband's birthday in hopes that it would be close to the caramel cake he loved as a child. Let's just say that I earned enough brownie points to last for many years and I am about to make another cake because he loved it soooooo much. I did triple everything and keep in mind it is more along the lines of an icing and not a frosting. Thank you !!!!

I picked this recipie because I had all the ingredients in my kitchen. Got a bit ahead of myself and combined all ingredients at once, then noticed I was to put it over heat. So I scooped off the powdered sugar and poured the rest of the ingredients into the sauce pan. Heated. Added the sugar. And wala! I was saved. I only let my 2 layer cake cool long enough to make this frosting. After reading all the "quickly pour reviews", I began to pour and it was too runny. So I poked holes in the bottom layer and let some of the frosting run through the cake. I even poked holes in the top layer, so it would stop running off the sides. Pouring in circles helped. If I had cool whip I could serve it to others in stead of just me and the kids. It tasted GREAT even thoughit didn't look so great! I will let it cool next time so it pours slower. ALSO I used 8th Continental Vanilla Soy milk instead of reg milk, keeping my vegetarian family members in mind!:)

Very yummy frosting! Although I've learned you need to frost the cake before the frosting cools down too much - I had to make a second batch because it started to set lol! (The double icing was awesome, though!!)

Super easy and delicious. I doubled the recipe like most and I also added an extra cup of powdered sugar to make it thicker spreading consistency. I frosted a homeade chocolate cake..yumm yumm!

I didn't like this frosting at all. It just tasted like powdered sugar to me. A lot of people seemed to like this recipe though. What did I do wrong? If you know, let me know!

I was never a huge fan of Carmel cake until I tried this recipe. The cooling of the cake and the making of the frosting must be timed perfectly. ***YOU HAVE TO BE REALLY QUICK SPREADING THIS ICING WHILE WHILE IT'S HOT. ICING DRIES VERY FAST**

This was YUMMY!!! I did what someone else recommended and doubled the butter and brown sugar. I made a chocolate cake and dripped this all over instead of trying to spread it, etc... It didn't get too hard, but was PERFECT!! Didn't look fantastic, but made it for the family and they scarfed it down!! I poured it on while it was still hot so it made the cake moist and some of it soaked in... SUPERB!!!

This was good on the banana cake I made. I had to make it twice though, to cover up the whole cake. Next time I'll just make a double batch. Also, they're right about it hardening up if you don't work quickly. Otherwise, it has a really good flavor.

I recently had a request from my boyfriend's step father to make him the kind of devil's food cake with caramel frosting his grandma used to make. I had absolutely NO IDEA where to start. I found a dfc recipe in Bon Appetit, and used this frosting. I doubled the recipe for a double layer cake. RAVE reviews. Thanks so much! I made one modification, however. It didn't taste "caramelly" enough to me initially - just sugary from all of the powdered sugar. So I tripled the butter/brown sugar/milk portion of the recipe. Turned out fabulous. True to everyone's word it stiffens up very quickly. But nothing a few seconds in the micro didn't fix.

This frosting is delicious...but you have to work quick, otherwise, it hardens up and becomes impossible to spread nicely. I used half and half in the recipe for extra yummy calories. I used the recipe to ice cupcakes (made with the Black Magic cake recipe found on this site), which were a hit!

This is an excellent "not-as-hard-as-my-grandma's" recipe. Without the double boiling and extra effort this was quite easy and VERY, very tasyty. Thanks MaryKaye!

This recipe tasted just like caramel, and it got just hard enough on the outside when it cooled. It was delicious, but even my high school students told me it was "too sweet".
