This recipe is great except it should specify to use unsalted butter and to use 3 cups of "sifted" confectioners sugar.
1 cup sifted confectioners sugar = 3.6 oz or 102 g
1 cup unsifted confectioners sugar = 4.4 oz or 125g
So those of you who used unsifted sugar actually put in 69g extra sugar which is why it tasted too sweet. 22% too sweet!
Also I only used 1 Tbs. of heavy cream and it piped really easy. This will set up in the fridge really well after piping.

This is a great recipe. I made a butter pecan cake, and used this recipe for the icing. I sifted my confectioners sugar and made sure the butter was soft but not melted. You can't beat/whip this recipe too much. I used my Kitchen Aid mixer with the whisk attachment. I iced the cake and then had 2/3 cup of chopped pecans and 1/3 cup of butter that I put in a 350 oven to toast. Stir the nuts every 5 minutes for 20 minutes and then cool. I put the nuts on the top of the iced cake. It got rave reviews from friends and family. I can't wait to try it with chocolate.

Just made this recipe and it was perfect! Reading through some of the reviews for where people had a problem with the recipe and without meaning insult, did you use butter at room temperature and did you use confectioners sugar? I can't see that your frosting would be gritty unless you used regular sugar. I did whip the butter with a table spoon of heavy cream and vanilla before adding sugar. I also added a tablespoon of cocoa powder for chocolate frosting and it was very tasty. Love this recipe. Also whipped it longer. I used a hand mixer and regular beaters.
