  1. kitty REVIEW:

    OMG amazing!! I could have eaten the frosting plain!

  2. Aunt Bea REVIEW:

    I made this last weekend and spread it over a pecan cake it was sooooo good. I added about a tsp. of maple flavor to it. The whole thing tasted like praline candy. It was all gone in a day and a half.

  3. Liz in MO REVIEW:

    I made this to go on a spice cake, and it came out beautifully. It's perfect caramel, very pretty and extremely tasty. The only hard part was leaving enough after "trying it to make sure it was good" to actually ice the cake.

  4. catflaps REVIEW:

    Made this this to ice a chocolate cake. Made it with half dark brown sugar and half light brown sugar. Tastes really nice. Takes a while to cool down enough to spread though.

  5. Joansy REVIEW:

    i made this icing for my 9th grade culinary project and they LOVED IT!
