Mine turned out kinda runny, any tips. I love this frosting but I don't know what to do to keep it from being to thin. I followed the recipe to the letter. Please if you have a tip I could really use the help.

A couple of thoughts.
1) The butter must be room temperature, but not too soft. Butter is room temperature when you gently press with your finger and it makes a small indention. It should feel slightly cool still, not warm, and look smooth, not greasy.
2) If the cream mixture was still too warm it could have softened the butter too much.
3) You can always add a bit more powdered sugar, 1/4 cup at a time to reach your desired consistency.
