Ok I need help, my buttercream has jsut too much butter taste

I used 4 sticks and 3 (2lbs confet sugar)

I used whipping cream

vanilla extract

it doesn't have a pop taste to me, it tastes bland to me

That is A LOT of butter....... I use half butter and half solid shortening....... water instead of the cream, and almond instead of the vanilla for white icing........ for Chocolate, I use the vanilla........ I also add a dash of salt..... seems to cut the sweetness...

My recipe uses 2 sticks of butter for 2 lbs of powdered sugar.

That is a lot of butter!

Indydebi's BC is awesome! Tastes great and is SO easy to work with.
