Okay, my 50th is next Friday and I don't know what kind of cake or design I want to do. I know I want a different flavor besides the usual yellow, marble, chocolate or white. Something I've never made before, like maybe caramel and chocolate. How do you do that? I use box mixes never seen caramel, what can I add? I do want some type of chocolate in there though....yum. Any ideas or suggestions? I want to do something really pretty or something fun for my 50th just not sure what. Just a double 8 inch round or 9" square I don't have that many to help eat it.
Any idea's are appreciated

TIA - Kat

I use box mixes also. Do DH dark chocolate, torte it and fill with caramel ice cream topping, yummy. Happy early birthday!

Oh that does sound good, Maybe I'll make it tonight so I can try some cupcakes like that. Can never get enough chocolate...yum

i make a chocolate cake and fill it with a caramel filling. i then ice it with chocolate icing. i cover the sides of the cake with caramel sprinkles(found with the ice cream toppings) i then cover the top of the cake with caramel filled candies. hersherys caramel filled kisses,rolos,mini milky ways and snickers,jr. mints has a jr.caramel candy. giradeli caramel filled squares. it is always a hit. hope that helps.....................laura

Thanks babybundt that sounds good too. Carmel stuff for ice cream or something different? If you don't mind sharing you can pm me for the caramel filling. I will have to look for the caramel sprinkles too. I go from caramel to rasberries don't know why just two of my favorite accents for cake. I do want to do some type of decorating though, but the caramel sprinkles for the sides might be nice.
