Combine powdered sugar and butter in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add cocoa powder, vanilla, and salt; mix for 30 seconds. Add cream 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing after each addition. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. Mix on medium speed until frosting is shiny and seems to have large bubbles, 3 to 5 minutes more.

Bourbon Cream Cheese Frosting
A delicious twist on cream cheese frosting. This is great for decorating red velvet cake and would be excellent on banana cake too!
Mom's Dill Potato Salad
Mom's dill potato salad recipe is a great alternative to the familiar yellow potato salad. The dried dill weed is much more flavorful than fresh.
Delicious Popcorn Crunch
Popcorn and candy in a candy sauce. Great for the holidays! Not too chewy and won't stick to your teeth (unless you overcook the sauce)! You can customize the candy, dried fruit, and nuts to what you like. Canadian Smarties® can be used instead of M&M's®. I've known people to press the mixture into a cake pan and cut pieces, too.
