This recipe is wonderful. I added a little extra milk to thin it out a tad. I made the Southern Praline cake and drizzled it with this frosting. I receive compliments everytime I make it!

Sooooo sweet and hardened really fast and was very thick. Maybe I am losing some of my sweet tooth in my old age.

This frosting is perfect and easy to make. I frosted 3 layers of a french vanilla cake mix, then I poured a melted chocolate chip and cream mixture over the top. I think I may have over did it because the cake was way too sweet. I will definately make this frosting again but next time I will frost a sponge cake and servr it with whip cream.

Mmmmmm....very rich, but very delicious! This is the kind of frosting that makes you enjoy a smaller slice of cake because of its richness. I used half and half for the liquid and didn't measure it out...just stirred it in until it looked thick and creamy. I also added a pinch of salt to balance out the sweetness. I iced my french vanilla banana muffins (will post recipe on this site shortly) with this frosting and it turned out to be the perfect combo! Thanks for a great, basic caramel frosting recipe.

This icing is awesome and so easy to make. I put it on a chocolate cake and it was great. I will next try it on a prune cake recipe. My Grandmother always made me a prune cake with caramel icing for my birthday. This tastes very much like what she made. Thanks for the memories!!

This recipe was wonderful on a banana bundt cake. It does set up fast, so I poured it straight onto the warm cake. Delicious!

USING A CINNAMON SWIRL CAKE MIX, I MADE UP 24 CUPCAKES AND NEEDED A FROSTING THAT WOULD HARDEN ( GOOD FOR BOXING ,TRAVEL). THIS WAS PERFECT....FAST AND EASY...I DID HAVE TO ADD A LITTLE MORE MILK (I USED HALF AND HALF)FOR THE LAST FEW CUPCAKES , BUT THEY WERE READY WITHIN MINUTES TO BE BOXED UP. NEXT I AM GOING TO TRY THIS RECIPE WITH GRANULATED SUGAR IN PLACE OF THE BROWN AND USE A DIFFERENT EXTRACT (ORANGE , LEMON, PEPPERMINT,ETC.) AND SEE HOW THAT WORKS.

Yum! I used this on the White Texas Sheet Cake recipe from this site. I topped with some chopped walnuts. The flavor of the walnuts goes really well with this frosting. I want to try it on banana cake or muffins. It's really good!
