NEVER FAIL CARAMEL ICING http://members.nuvox.net/~zt.proicer/recipes/all-recipes.htm#All%20about%20Petit%20Fors

1 1/2 cup Sugar

1/2 cup Butter or margarine

3/4 cup Evaporated milk

1/2 teas Vanilla

1 lb Firm Nestles caramel loaf * $2.99 per lb at Sugarcraft June 97

Cook together sugar, butter and milk until it will for a soft ball (236 ). Remove mixture from heat and immediately add caramel (in pieces). Continue to stir hot mixture until all the caramel is dissolved; add vanilla. Cool and spread on cake. Is delicious on jam cakes. Note: I tried this and it must be spread very thinly, as it tends to "pile" at base of cake.

Cook sugars and milk until it reaches the soft-ball stage. Add butter; stir to mix. Cool. Add vanilla and salt. Beat. Add confectioners' sugar if needed to thicken or milk to keep smooth as it hardens. This icing forms a hard shell.
