The optional pinch of salt will offset the sweetness if needed. To store: Store your buttercream in an airtight storage container in the fridge for up to a month. Allow the frosting to warm slightly before using. I also suggest whipping the frosting again before using it - you may need to make minor adjustments to the liquid or sugar amounts to balance the consistency. To freeze: Transfer the frosting into an airtight freezer storage container and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then follow the instructions above before using.
