Another baking session with the kid, with a little more effort this time. And another popular thingy that I've been wanting to try to make: salted caramel. I think this one is more understandable. I mean, it's CARAMEL. Plus, salted. It can't go wrong.  I was drooling when I saw this beautiful cake picture here . Look at that caramel drizzling! But please, please don't compare it with my result. I followed the recipe as closely as possible, yet the result is messy, no beauty. But the taste, OhMyGod. I was right, people were right, salted caramel can't go wrong.
