In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine cream and cinnamon. Microwave 30 seconds or until hot. Let stand until it has cooled to room temperature (it will thicken to a paste-like consistency).
In a large bowl, beat butter and cream mixture with an electric mixer on medium speed until smooth, about 30 seconds.
Add vanilla and salt; beat until combined. Add sugar, 1 cup at a time, beating until smooth. Beat 1 minute longer, until light and fluffy.
Pipe onto cooled cupcakes of your choice!
