I find that when I make buttercream frostings I am better off taking the extra time needed to mix it by hand. It seems that every time I get in a hurry and go for the mixer my frosting gets too gooey and soft to stay on the cake. Then if I try to compensate by adding more dry ingredients it just doesn't work. It remains gooey and soft.
I tend to use it anyway when this happens, but I have to refrigerate the cake in order to keep the layers from sliding off one another.
This never happens, however, when I just take the time to mix it by hand; which, it seems, is tedious but foolproof.
