    Caramel Frosting
    1. !NOTE: You will have two pots going while making this frosting so have everything ready to go and have a large hot pad.
    2. In large saucepan, place 2½ cups sugar, butter, cream, and a dash of salt. Cook on medium until almost to a rolling boil then pour in sugar syrup that you are making in another skillet.
    3. At the same time, in a small skillet, put ½ cup sugar and melt on medium until it becomes an amber color. You don't stir this sugar but you will need to shake the skillet every few minutes to help distribute the sugar. This is the sugar syrup that you will pour into the saucepan.
    4. Once you pour in the syrup, cook on medium to medium-high, stirring constantly until almost soft ball stage or 232 on thermometer.
    5. Remove pot from heat, stir in vanilla, and let cool for about five minutes.
    6. Either transfer to large stand mixer or use hand mixer and whip until it becomes frosting consistency, about 5-7 minutes.
