Step 1: Cream should be chilled. If it's a hot day, you may want to chill your beater and your bowl too.
Step 2: If you have a kitchenaide mixer, use the wire beater, and don't use the highest settings. It's too easy to go right past perfect to over-whipped.
Step 3: Whip cream to desired consistency, not stiff like egg whites.
Step 4: Turn beater down to a lower speed and slowly stream sugar into whipped cream, then add vanilla and salt.
Step 5: Serve chilled.
Step 6: Note: For cake topping, use powdered sugar instead of granulated.
