Aunt Pittypat's Caramel Icing image

Use this icing to cover Peachtree Street Gingerbread Cake(Recipe #459977)! This recipe comes from the "Gone With The Wind Cook Book - Famous Southern Cooking Recipes". There is a note in the foreward which I love: "Gone With The Wind told of a style of living. as well as a romantic drama, A way of living, playing, and eating that thrilled us all."
