Caramel frosting is a delightful and indulgent topping that transforms ordinary baked goods into extraordinary treats. Known for its rich, buttery flavor and velvety texture, this frosting is a favorite among dessert lovers. The foundation of caramel frosting lies in a homemade caramel sauce, which is crafted by cooking brown sugar, butter, and cream until they meld into a luscious, golden concoction. This process not only develops the deep flavors characteristic of caramel but also creates a creamy consistency that pairs beautifully with various cakes and cupcakes.
