I hav...Jill, Mama made the BEST caramel icing, too. I have never mastered it (much to Kelley's dismay!) but this is close in taste - especially with the filling! LOVE your story!!! I would be up at midnight painting, not cooking these days!!!

Afte...You sound like my mom...burning the caramel. After Daddy passed away she had a lot of sleepless nights. One of these nights she decided to make a cake and it just had to be one with caramel icing. At midnight as she was "burning" her sugar in her cast iron skillet, it set off the smoke alarm. This in turn set off the chain of calls from her security alarm and the fire dept was on the way to her house. When this happens they do not call the house with the alarm but rather the next contact person listed. My brother showed up at her house soon after and was relieved to find everything ok. Needless to say, we banned Mom from cooking after midnight:) Her caramel icing is tops, though!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
