Chop chocolate into pieces.
Heat half the cream in saucepan with sugar until it boils.

Warm the jar of caramel sauce. Pour caramel sauce on each dessert plate, making a pool in the bottom of each.
Drizzle chocolate sauce in zigzag patterns over caramel sauce and feather with a toothpick if desired.
Loosen cakes with sharp knife and invert onto sauces.
