There was someone with an upcoming cake order and wanted to know how to make their icing less sweet.

I don't remember who it was but their recipe was similar to mine accept used twice as much sugar. I just tried theirs.

OH MY GOSH!!!! Can you say sweet???? It literally gave me a sugar headache from one little lick.

First I tried adding a bitter flavoring.. no luck. Then I tried adding coffee creamer... still way too sweet. I finally added shortening to it (about 1.5 cups [I just eyeballed it] ) and it calmed it down just fine.

Either cut way back on your sugar or add more shortening. Hope this helps.
