To make the frosting, beat the butter on medium speed using either a hand held mixer or a stand mixer. Beat until it is smooth and creamy. Add the powdered sugar, cream, vanilla extract and salt with the mixer running. Increase to high speed and beat for 3 or so minutes. Start with 3 cups of the powdered sugar add more, if needed, to thicken the frosting. If the frosting needs to be thinned, then add more cream.
