Decorating By jenjens Updated 1 May 2008 , 9:47am by peanut123
So I've been making buttercream and all the comments i'm getting is the frosting is tooooo sweet. I've been using the standard buttercream recipe with a 2 pound bag.
My question is besides PS i've made swiss merginue buttercream as well (still too sweet). Is there anything else besides PS to make a great frosting with?
TIA
You could try a non dairy whipped topping.

You could try italian merignue buttercream,its light and not too sweet.

Jenjens,
âSweetnessâ is hard to measure and compare.
There are recipes that add one or more of the following ingredients to âcutâ or reduce the âsweetnessâ:
+ salt
+ wheat flour
+ piping gel
+ lemon juice
+ lemon zest
Corn syrup is also âless sweetâ than powdered sugar; however, buttercream made with corn syrup and powered sugar usually does not crust.
