  1. Tomorrow is my twin daughter's 14th birthday. I am in a hurry, as usual, so this is how I sped up the process of making this cake. First, no butter. I mixed the pretzels and fudge sauce together (right in the springform pan) and made that the bottom layer. Then I spread 1/2 of the ice cream. Next, I swirled caramel sauce, crushed pretzels and kit kat bars. One more layer of ice cream and then caramel, chocolate, crushed pretzels and kit kat bars for garnish. I used kit kat bars because I did not have time to dip pretzels and didn't want to pay $5.00 for them at the grocery store. It looks beautiful and did not require any freezing in between. It is now in the deep freeze and the girls think it will taste like a Take five candy bar! We can't wait until tomorrow to eat it! Thanks for an awesome idea and for making me look like I am a fabulous cook!! KCShell

OK lets see...My name is Diane and I'm married to a wonderful guy -- going on 20 years. We have 2 kids -- 1 daughter and 1 son a 70lb german shepard, a fat cat and a very snobby cat! I work a couple of days a week in the Loop and the rest of my time is spent sitting at the kids sporting events. I love to try new recipes. Luckily, hubby will try just about anything. The kids aren't so eager about that, but are generally very good sports about it!
