Cream cheese cupcake icing too sour How can I cut out the sour taste a bit and make it sweeter? Overall the icing tastes good, I'd just like to tweak it a bit.

The recipe I used contains:


2 8-oz packages cream cheese, at room temperature
8 Tbsp. (1 stick) unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar, sifted
1 tsp. vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
Oddly enough, a little SALT might help. Salt has the effect of blocking some sour receptors in the tongue while enhancing sweetness.
