Caramel Icing

Caramel Icing

Everyday

Caramel icing is a rich, sweet confection made by heating sugar and butter until caramelized, then combining with milk or cream to create a spreadable topping. This amber-colored icing sets firmly at room temperature with a distinctive fudge-like texture that differentiates it from softer buttercream varieties. While primarily used on layer cakes and quick breads, this high-sugar topping is notably more dense and intense in flavor than traditional vanilla or chocolate icings.
