Caramel for Birthday Spice Cake is a sweet and decadent topping that pairs perfectly with a spicy cake. Made by combining brown sugar, heavy cream, butter, and salt, this caramel sauce is rich and buttery with just the right amount of sweetness. It's perfect for drizzling over a freshly baked cake or using as a sweet dip for fresh fruit. Plus, with options to add vanilla and rum flavoring, you can customize the sauce to your liking. Just be sure to monitor the cooking process carefully, as caramel can quickly go from a liquid to a solid if overcooked. Enjoy this sweet treat in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

2.	Whisk constantly until the butter and brown sugar are melted and fully combined.
3.	Let the mixture simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4.	Remove the caramel from the heat and stir in the vanilla and rum flavoring (if desired).
5.	Pour the caramel into a container and let it cool for 15 to 20 minutes before using it as a topping on a birthday spice cake.
