Get a pot and fill it with water. Submerge the unopened condensed milk into the pot and set in on the stove on low heat

1. 1
   Boil the can for three hours, making sure that the pot does not run out of water

   .

   If it does, the can will explode, and you don't want to clean caramel off the kitchen wall. Though the idea may be appealing to kids, you would not want them getting their caramel dip off the walls, would you?

   After three hours, remove the can and let it cool

   Open with a can opener and apply all over sponge cake.
