Hey guys,

I have two caramel cake orders for Christmas. I tried the frosting out of Cake Doctor and I really didn't like it. It was great for frosting a cake.

Does anyone have a good carmel frosting they have used and a different idea on a caramel cake?

Thanks in advance

I meant to say it was NOT great for frosting a cake!

DH brand makes a carmel cake mix that I think is very tasty. I reminds me some of spice cake, so cream cheese icing would be good. I used BC and it was fine, I guess, I got good feedback on the cake.

I looked for the DH brand and I have not seen it anymore. I don't know if they stop selling it or what but I have been looking. what about frosting like a caramel frosting that frost good.

For caramel cake, I just mke a yellow cake and add a tub of store-bought frosting (caramel pecan flavored) right into the mix. It tastes great and is supermoist!

do you add the frosting plus the other ingrediants on the box...how do you do this....

My problem really isn't the cake it's the frosting. Help

yes..mix the batter just like on the box, then dump the frosting in.

there are alot of recipes for caramel icein on this site in the recipes. i havent got to try them yet but some of them look yummy!

I have a recipe for caramel cake icing that my Mom used to make for my birthday when I was little. I use it now and get rave reviews. I sell them every year to raise money for Relay for Life--and I never have trouble making my quota!

1 lb brown sugar
2 cups white granulated sugar
1 cup plus 2 tbs of evaporated milk
2 sticks of butter or margarine
1 tsp vanilla

Bring first four ingredients to a boil in a medium sauce pan. Boil for 3 and a half minutes or four minutes--until icing feels stick to stir and coats the spoon. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Allow to rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Then beat with a mixer until cooled and spreading consistency.
I put this on four yellow cake layers.

*If icing is too thick or sets too hard, add additional evaporated milk one teaspoon at a time.

*If icing is too runny after being cooled and mixed, add confectioners' sugar one teaspoon at a time.

This is delicious. Let me know if you attempt it.
