Have used mountain lion for a week or so now. I would like to erase the cache......but I couldn't find it on the menu bar like it was on OS X. How do you erase it??

If you are referring to the Safari cache, it's not possbile to empty the cache from the menu bar in the most recent version 6.
There is a workaround. From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Advanced tab.
Click: Show Develop menu in menu bar
Now click Develop > Emtpy Caches
OR, from the menu bar click Safari > Reset Safari
Clearing the history will also empty the cache but unfortunately, it also deletes your History.

The simplest way to erase Cashe on Mac OS X is to use an App like "Clean My Mac".
Here’s how to clean your caches:
1. Choose Users>your user name>Library>Caches.
2. From the Menu bar, choose Edit>Select All.
3. Drag all of the items to the Trash.
4. From the Macintosh HD, choose Library>Caches.
5. Choose Edit>Select All, and drag the items to the Trash. You’ll be required to type in an administrator’s password.
6. Restart your Mac.
Not recommended.
