I have been looking for a caramel icing recipe since I lost my mothers [which was the best ever] well I think I found my mums recipe. Great icing and taste just like my mums. My family went crazy over this recipe. I made a devil food cake and used this icing. They all thought i had gone mad, but when they tasted it all i heard was wow, aah, this is crazy delicious. The cake and the recipe go great together. It was my dads favorite cake. Thanks so much. Chef Sassy

I needed a carmel icing in a pinch over the holiday season. I have a large family and they are very critical when it comes to food. I made this icing for the first time. It was very simple. I spreaded this icing over a yellow cake. Everyone loved it. I give this recipe two thumbs-up!

I needed a quick and easy icing and this was it! Great flavor, nice consistency but be sure to beat it for the recommended 15 minutes or more. If you have a stand mixer, let it do the work and you can move on to another task.
