I found the caramel BC recipe on your blog. You refer to Dede Wilson, who has been a favorite of mine for years. I have used her recipes and love the results. You mentioned Hazelnut praline paste, is that her recipe? I could not find it in the book. Thanks, Cathy

I tried to make this but had a problem with the buttercream . I got the caramel to the right color (I think) but when I poured in the cream I couldn’t get it to mix – even though I started stirring as soon as I was pouring in the cream the caramel formed a hard candy shape and would not combine with the cream. I tried twice and gave up. Any thoughts?

I’ve made a wedding cake once too! For a friend.

I made two – a three-tiered chocolate with black raspberry preserves filling (with my own berries), and a lemon-poppy-seed cake (also three-tiered) – it was maybe made to feed 200 people all in all?
My mother-in-law though – she makes them all the time. And hers are really good.

oh this looks yummy, what is the texture of this cake? is it very crumbly or a little more dense like a pound cake? i want to carve this cake and am not sure if it will hold under a knife!

Rebecca — this will make a double layer 6″ cake. To make a double layer 9″ cake, double the cake recipe (there should be more than enough frosting) and bake an extra 5-10 minutes.

Is this awesome looking recipe for a single 8″ or will it make (2) 8″ so I can make a regular layer cake? Any other adjustments I should make to make a regular double layer cake? This is so along my husbands frame of love! LOL! Thanks!
