When I use the mix I use 1 cup of mix to 1 Tbl of warm water and it's usually the correct consistency. However, your weather can change it. Adding powdered sugar should be OK. But it doesn't stiffen the more it rests, so it should be only slightly soft when your done mixing and let it sit overnight.
