To make caramel icing (Note: when making this decor you will have two jars, so have everything ready to go and have a large griddle). Choose a large saucepan and put 2½ cups of sugar, butter, cream, a pinch of salt in it, then cook over medium heat until almost boiling. Next, be sure to pour the syrup into another pan.

In a small saucepan, meanwhile, put half a cup of sugar and melt it in a medium until it turns amber, being careful not to stir this sugar, but you will have to shake the pan every few minutes to help distribute the sugar. It is the sugar syrup that you will pour into the pot.

Be sure to cook over medium to medium-high heat while pouring in the syrup and keep stirring until softball or 232 on the thermometer.

Immediately remove the pan from the heat, add the vanilla and let cool for 15 minutes.

Well now you better go to a big mixer and beat on medium speed. You can also use the hand mixer on medium heat and whip for 15-20 minutes, or until the consistency of ice cream.
Finally, remember to add a little cream if the frosting freezes too quickly or becomes too thick.

Enjoy!
