Chocolate Cake With Caramel Frosting and Gumdrop Roses

I realise that all the previous comments are from some years back, which makes me think the recipe is also that old, but if you're going to offer a recipe that calls for other recipes to be used (i.e., Caramel Frosting, and Gumdrop Roses), it behooves you to give links to those recipes, or to include them in the original recipe. So, is it possible to get those recipes? I have a friend's birthday coming up sooner, rather than later, so it would be greatly appreciated getting them before the beginning of September 2018. Thank you.

I baked this cake following every instruction and ingredient precisely, and it was lovely. Perfect cake to whip up on short notice, as it's simple and doesn't require a lot of odd ingredients. You can find cans of dulce de leche for the frosting in the baking aisle of your local supermarket--look where the condensed milk is.

Uh, I think SO. Really, grow up.

Dear Readers: You are more than welcome to critique the recipes and express your differing opinions, but please keep your interactions with one another polite and respectful.

I don't think so. NOW I feel bad for your friends.....should you have any. Maybe try 1.800.ANGERMANAGEMENT. Have a blessed day~

You may be academically "smart" but I have found many people with adequate intelligence to lack common sense or common courtesies. Those things seem to be learned out of school. One would never brag about their superiority, even if they knew it to be true. Saying you had a PhD without the "I am smarter than the masses" would have been acceptable. To berate someone for using the term "my dear" really was not worth mentioning. Depending on what part of the country you are in, people often use endearing names such as dear, honey and sweetie, for anyone they meet. It may not be my "cup of tea" but they are just being friendly so I ingore it. You would have had less conflict if you had also. Just a "I think you might have misunderstood and maybe you could reread the instuctions", would have been sufficient I think. I am sure you are a very nice person and I am not trying to be nasty, just making a point.

Shocking indeed. All the drama just made me lose my appetite.

Shocking that I had to read through so much drama just to try to ascertain whether this was a "to bake or not to bake" chocolate cake...namaste.

Actually, there is a photo right next to the "chocolate cake" that DOES NOT LOOK CHOCOLATE at all, and you do not need a Phd to know that either--my my. I also have an advanced degree and you my dear are an arrogant and haughty bore.

lorrainesherman...click on "Caramel Frosting" in the ingredient listing where it calls for 1 recipe Caramel Frosting. It will take you to the recipe! :)

Ladies, ladies, ladies. Just as MissPeach replied, the carmel chocolate cake in the center of the photo is UNCUT, therefore, we are unable to see the chocolate layers. The cake slice below the uncut cake appears to be from the pistachio cake. I think all of us can read Laurensmom!

JCB2532 -- That slice is from the cake ABOVE the caramel frosting cake. Note the pistachios around the bottom edge. The caramel frosting cake is indeed uncut and, presumably, chocolate.

And they don't even give the recipe for the caramel frosting!

Laurens mom - there is a slice,in lower corner, where is definitely does not look like CHOCOLATE cake.

i am confused by the picture......it says chocolate cake, but this picture isn't chocolate. ?
