Not too sweet not salty at all just the perfect buttercream frosting. Its so creamy and not too sweet. You may prefer doing a cooked frosting as they tend to be less sweet.
Either an ermine frosting Italian or Swiss meringue buttercream or even a German buttercream might be more your style.
It has the benefit of being pretty heat stable as well. If you are not going to frost your cake cupcakes or cookies right away place. This is the best buttercream because it is not sickeningly sweet or overly rich like many buttercream frostings it works well for cupcakes or cakes pipes out easily is silky smooth and fluffy and holds its shape well. I consider buttercream to be a bit too sweet so I add a pinch of salt and lemon juice to cut down on some of that sweetness and it really makes a difference.
