Ok, the background is I am making a Diego cake for DD, which is probably just going to be Diego's head (a round cake, then a bit extra for hair).
He will need to be a caramel colour, not sure if you can get that sort of food colouring, but I have a recipe in a BBC good food book for a choca mocca caramel cake. I wouldn't put coffee in it (yuk!) but could do the rest. But the recipe calls for chocolate 'caramel bars' (2x50g bars for the cake a 2 for the icing). I'm not sure exactly what that means though, does it mean like a cadbury's caramel, or more like a caramac (where the hell can I get these from nowadays?)?
A colleague at work bought in a yummy caramel type cake which IIRC was made with milky ways (or maybe mars bars) anyone tried anything similar?
Any help appreciated
