What is your recipe? I've used the all shortening recipe and it really hardens.. I now use the 1/2 margarine and 1/2 shortening.. It does not harden as much..Actually it takes longer to crust so that I can do the VIVA magic to it.. LOL
Hope this helps!

Try a different recipe with more butter as mentioned above and it won't be so crusting!!!

No I don't think meringue makes a huge difference.I have added it before but found no real change in my icing.It just adds to the cost!

No, it's not a no-no by any means... use it if you want to. Whenever I've used it, no matter how low a speed I run my mixer, I get a ton of air bubbles.
