Salted Caramel Chocolate Cake

I have made a number of cakes for one year olds and until recently, I could safely say that the kids generally have little to no interest in smashing/eating/messing with their birthday cake. Well, this birthday boy broke that trend. He smashed his little cake to pieces and ate about 90% of it (I am confident that that number would have been 100% if it wasn't all over his face and hands).

The adults, however, ate their cake in a slightly more polite fashion. But we all know, deep down, that they wanted to consume their three layer yellow cake, filled and covered with chocolate buttercream and salted caramel corn and doused in caramel, in exactly the same fashion as the birthday boy.
