Luckily, this Caramel Glaze couldn’t be any easier to make either. You can say that as caramel goes, this recipe is rather fool proof. No fail caramel glaze? Yep, I’m definitely in for that kind of recipe.

I received so many emails after I shared my Brown Sugar Bundt Cake asking for the glaze recipe that I knew I’d better share it all in one place since everyone seemed to be interested in that glaze!

So, this one is for you guys. Hope you love it as much as I do.

  1. This glaze is rich, creamy, glossy and decadently thick. Be patient for the thermometer reaches 120 degrees. I made a chocolate fudge bundt cake with this caramel topping for a football tailgate. Our team colors are black and gold. Perfect celebration cake!

    1. Hi Elissa,
      The corn syrup works as a stabilizer with the sugar in making caramel so that it doesn’t turn out grainy, etc.
