Notes

Adding the Glaze

Before adding the glaze, pour 2 tbsp of praline syrup over the top of the cake. Then while the glaze is still hot, pour it over the top of the cake. With the cake on a plate or a pedestal, rotate the cake and pour to cover. Then add candied pecans on the top and sides to garnish. And enjoy!
