For a richer chocolate flavor, try using dark cocoa powder.
Ensure your mayonnaise is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Watch the caramel frosting carefully while it boils; it can burn quickly.
If the frosting becomes too thick, add a tablespoon of half-and-half at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
