I baked my first “vintage” cake for my birthday and it was delicious but i want a different icing next time. After trying many different buttercream recipes i have learned that maybe i just dont like buttercream once it is solidified. For this cake i used SMBC and although it was so tasty when i first piped it, after refrigerating and then taking it out for 2 hours to get it softened (the room temperature is not too high here) it just didnt have that fluffy texture anymore. Do you just decorate the cake and serve right away to keep the light texture? Do you thaw it even more to get it softer?
What other frostings should i try to decorate my future cakes? I still want it to be pipe able so i can make designs on the cakes.
Thank you!

next time try just leaving it out
Ermine Frosting is a great choice that will give you that fluffy texture you want and at room temperature, emulates stabilized whipped cream frosting.
