Unsalted vs Salted Butter

Just wondering if it makes any difference to use salted butter when the recipe states unsalted butter?Thanks

I have never used unsalted butter in my life - have made plenty of recipes that ask for it though.They turned out fine.

Cool, thanks for that :)

Sometimes I use unsalted butter when I'm making icing. I don't think it makes too much difference though. I do, however, only use butter that has no water in it

Yeah this recipe is for icing, with melted chocolate and orange rind, hopefully it will be ok!
