Does it also use powdered sugar? I can use salted/unsalted butter in powdered sugar frosting and can't tell the difference.
You can sub shortening, too, but you may want to add back some butter flavor.

Yes it asks for powdered sugar. This is the recipe:
Maple Cream Cheese Frosting:
8 oz unsalted butter
1 c. brown sugar
2 (8 oz.) cream cheese
1/2 c maple syrup
1/4 tsp maple flavor extract
Cream Cheese Frosting:
1 lb cream cheese
6 tbsp unsalted butter
1 1/4 c powdered sugar
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
someone help me with the unsalted butter part? :/ please haha.
i use salted butter in recipes similiar to those and don't have any issues
So just use buttered instead? Or can I do like half shortening and half butter?
Again salted butter, I always use salted butter just to help cut the sweetness a bit. Everone loves my buttercream and you really can't taste the salt at all.
Salted butter is often used in buttercream recipes to counteract the overly sweet taste of all the powdered sugar. There should be no problem just using the same amount of salted butter.
