Cupcake, cake, or cookie frosting

This is a great all-purpose frosting that can work for almost anything.  Including just whipping up a batch to smear on some graham crackers. Which I have done with my kids.  They thought it was such a fun treat and sooo easy!

1/2 cup softened butter
1 tsp. vanilla
4 cups powdered sugar
4 Tbsp. Whipping cream or half and half
Pinch of salt

Combine all ingredients and stir with a fork until most of the powdered sugar is mixed in.  Then use an electric hand mixer until it is smooth and forms peaks.  If it is too runny, add a little more powdered sugar.  If it is too stiff, add a little more cream.  To make different favors: add 1/2 teaspoon almond extract or to make chocolate add 3-4 Tbsp. Cocoa
