8 oz bar of creaam cheese @ room temp
1 tbsp. clear vanilla extract
2 lbs. sifted powder sugar

I typically stick with unsalted butter. But, on the occasion where I've only had salted butter on hand, I've either completely eliminated adding any additional salt or cut it way down (if the recipe lists salt as an ingredient)...it's hard to know exactly how much salt is in "salted butter".
Just my 2 cents for ya!
