The perfect amount is when you can't see through to the cake beneath it. If you scrape off too much and see a bald cake, add more and smooth again.
My recipe is 2 lbs of 10x powdered sugar, 3 sticks of butter, 1 or 2 tablespoons vanilla (depends on if I'm adding another flavor, then I cut back on the vanilla), and water to mix.
I love buttercream, so there's no such thing as too much for me to get the desired effect because the eaters can always scrape it off their piece.
