Tips:
- For a gooier frosting, use light corn syrup instead of water.
- If you want a more caramel flavor, use dark brown sugar instead of light brown sugar.
- To make the frosting ahead of time, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. When you're ready to use it, let it come to room temperature for 30 minutes before stirring until smooth.
- For a lighter frosting, whip it with a whisk or electric hand mixer until it's light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
- If you're making the frosting for a layer cake, be sure to let it cool completely before frosting the cake. Otherwise, the frosting will melt and slide off the cake.
Conclusion:
Caramel frosting is a delicious and versatile frosting that can be used on a variety of cakes, cupcakes, and other desserts. It's easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like it gooey or light and fluffy, caramel frosting is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a frosting that will make your dessert stand out, give caramel frosting a try.
