But it doesn't crust. It's yummy and not as sweet as a full American Buttercream.

thank you

That is all I make. If a client wants that super-sweet taste in any dessert, they will not find it at my bakery.

I tired 1/2 butter and 1/2 shortening and I really liked it. I've also read that adding a pinch of fine popcorn salt cuts down the sweetness. I recently bought some. It was 99 cents for a 3 & 3/4 Mortons, which is about the size of a large salt shaker. I think next time I will grind my own salt the same way you can use your food processor to make granulated sugar finer.

I don't like buttercream at all , as here it has always been associated with cheap and nasty store bought cake. I find it to sweet personally. I recently tried an Italian Meringue buttercream and it was no where near as sweet and quite pleasant to taste. It is a bit more work to make but the results are worth it. I believe there are lots of recipes on here if you search the recipe section.
