Fudge ganache frosting
Pirouette cookies "sticks"
Melted butterscotch and cinnamon hard candies "flames"

It was supposed to be a boiled can of sweetened condensed milk, but the first time I made it, I didn't boil it, I just put it into a crockpot water bath overnight and it was delicious. I tried to do this one on higher heat and less time, and it simply didn't completely caramelize fast enough for me to get the cake done on time so I just poured it on and started frosting. It still tasted good however.
