My step dad ALWAYS made me a spice cake for my birthday, with a caramel over it. I can't eat enough of this to make me 13 again, but it helps with turning 30 too early.

Steps:
- Mix first four (4) ingredients and place on stove to boil. DO NOT STIR after it begins to boil.
- Time for 4 minutes after the first bubbles break the surface. Immediately take it off the stove, and add the vanilla, butter and rum flavour (if using).
- Pour it out onto a cooled spice cake. Allow to harden for as long as you can.
- Eat it all before someone else does.
- Call me if you can't finish it.
- *Also note you can hit this with a smidge of cinnamon, or nutmeg or cloves if you like, but I find the rum flavour makes the best combo with the cake.

Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start baking, measure and prepare all of your ingredients. This will help you stay organized and ensure that you don't miss anything.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your cake will taste. If possible, use organic or local ingredients.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter can make your cake tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Bake the cake in a preheated oven: This will help the cake rise evenly.
- Let the cake cool completely before frosting it: This will help the frosting set properly.
- Decorate the cake as desired: You can use frosting, sprinkles, candles, or other decorations to make your cake look festive.
