I need a really good recipe for writing on cakes. Buttercream is sometimes too stiff or dry or just too thick. how can i get my writing frosting to flow smoothly?

Add liquid to your buttercream a little at a time until you get the right consistancy.

A bit of light corn syrup, some piping gel, some extra water or milk--anything that thins the icing to a better writing consistency.

I use to have the same problem but I started adding a little bit more liquid to my buttercream and my writing turned out so much smoother.
