Hey there nesha in Bowling Green! I'm in central KY.
I have a go-to caramel frosting recipe, but I'm not sure you could call it a caramel buttercream. It does have butter and powdered sugar, and it does crust, but I don't know how it would be to smooth it; I just use it on jam cakes.
Melt 3/4 C. butter
Add 1 1/2 C. brown sugar
Add 1/4 C plus 2 T. milk and bring all to a boil.
Remove from heat and let cool until lukewarm.
Add 1 tsp. vanilla
and 3 C. powdered sugar and beat until creamy.
I usually double this recipe.
nesha, I haven't made caramel buttercream but what I would do is buy carmal ice cream topping. Add the caramel to the buttercream. You could warm the caramel so that it incorporates easier. Hopefully someone else will respond and either confirm my idea or give you a better one.
Good Luck
Try making SMBC with all brown sugar instead of white sugar. We are running it on a pumpkin cake in our shop right now and it is AMAZING!

I agree with KoryAK 100% on this. I got the recipe from a Martha Stewart thanksgiving magazine a couple of years ago...I think it went on a spice cake if that helps you search her web site. It is amazing and pretty too.

I usually make a homemade caramel sauce using 1 1/2 cups white sugar, 1/3 cup water and then boiling it until it turns a deep amber color then add 1 1/4 cup heavy cream. It will seize and bubble but keep whisking it until it comes together, add 1 teaspoon vanilla and refridgerate until set. Then I add the whole thing to regular buttercream icing. It seems to work for me.
