Should you chill buttercream before piping?
If you’re planning on using it in the next week or so, buttercream frosting does need to be refrigerated until you need it. Simply place it in an airtight container and let it come up to room temperature before using it. Once your buttercream has warmed up, re-whip it to bring it back to a fluffy consistency.
What do I do if my buttercream is too sweet?
Buttercream is basically fat plus sugar, so if you have a lot of sugar in your mixture you can solve it by adding more fat. As with the cream cheese method, adding other types of fat to your original frosting will dilute the amount of sugar there is in it and will not taste as sweet. Try heavy cream.
