We made a jack o' lantern cake for a belated get together last night. It was a burnt sugar cake from Joy (obviously) with cream cheese frosting. The burnt sugar was a huge pain in the ass. It took three tries and two different cooks to get it right and even then it was still a little runny. We (i.e. Brandon. After the caramel I was done with finicky stuff, plus he is an artiste.) only added a little sugar to the icing because the cake was quite sweet already. The combination of deeply sweet cake and almost salty cream cheese frosting was perfect! I would make this again just as a regular cake despite the 45 minute crystallized sugar ordeal.
