Hi Madisan,

I think what you're describing is the texture of the buttercream when it's just come out of the mixer. It will be creamy and maybe even seem to be too runny. This caused by the heat of the beating action for an extended period of time.

Just refrigerate it for an hour or so and you'll find it thickens up nicely.

Hope this helps.
