This is my go-to easy caramel drip. It looks beautiful on fall cakes such as carrot cake or pumpkin spice cake and pairs nicely with old-fashioned banana cake. It also works wonderfully as a cupcake filling—core the cupcake and fill it with the warm caramel for a decadent surprise.

I include several caramel drip design ideas in my Drip Cakes tutorial. I hope you enjoy making this!

Thanks for reading. ❤️

Squeeze Bottle

Ingredients

  • 116 grams (⅔ cup) Kraft Caramel Bits
  • ¼ cup Heavy Cream

Instructions

  1. Combine the caramel bits and heavy cream in a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring thoroughly after each interval. When most of the caramel bits have softened, switch to a whisk and whisk vigorously—this speeds melting and helps avoid overcooking.
  3. Pour the warm caramel into a squeeze bottle and drizzle over the edges of cakes or on top of cupcakes. Allow to set slightly before serving.
