¹⁄₄ cup	sugar
2 tablespoons	water
1 teaspoon	light corn syrup
¹⁄₄ cup	heavy cream
¹⁄₂ teaspoon	vanilla
¹⁄₂ teaspoon	white vinegar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon	kosher salt
1 cup	butter softened
6 cups	powdered sugar

In a small saucepan, stir together sugar, water, and corn syrup.

Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat and let cook until golden brown. DO NOT STIR IT! And keep a close eye on it!

Remove from heat. Pouring very slowly while also stirring, mix in heavy cream. It will bubble up at first, that is normal.

Mix in the vanilla, vinegar, and salt and let the sauce cool completely.

Using a stand mixer, beat butter until smooth.

Gradually mix in about half of the powdered sugar.

Mix in the cooled caramel sauce (should be about 1/3 cup).

Gradually mix in the remaining powdered sugar.

Frost and enjoy!
