I don't think the frosting recipe with the whipping cream is a good candidate for the fbct.

Here's the tutorial which might you give some help:

darn! this recipe is a dud for me. i made it last night and it was delicious. creamy not too sweet. just like the recipe said.the only thing that worried me was that it was made with two cups of butter and whipping cream--which turns into butter when you whip it long enough. but i didn't think too much about it yesterday, but now that i do it seems kinda weird...so i put it in the fridge and today i take it out to use it and it's hard as a rock. i try whipping it again, but then water starts coming out of it! it's still hard and now there's a puddle in the bottom of the mixing bowl.
what did i do wrong?????

My best guess is that you need to let the icing warm to room temp then rewhip. The butter in it made it stiff.

Try that and see if it works. Since I haven't used this exact recipe, I can't offer anything else. HTC!
