I was just looking for a frosting recipe that used caramel, and then I got your e-mail to head online! Talk about great timing! One question: since I don't have block caramel and I DO have a can of Dulce de Leche caramel, can I use this instead? I think if I just heat it briefly to soften it in the microwave, it should work with the same consistency that seems to be in the photos. I do love your recipes, and always come here first when I'm looking for one before heading elsewhere online. Thanks for your great blogs, too. Think they'd be great bound as a KAF cookbook! Hi Linda, I think the dulce would work fine. Just heat it until it is lukewarm and pliable. If it's too hot and thin, it will hard to get a good fluffy consistency in your icing. Let us know how it goes. ~ MaryJane
