* If you sprinkle a very thin layer of cornstarch on top of a cake before you ice it, the icing won't run down the sides.
* To keep icing from hardening, just add a very small amount of white vinegar after it is whipped. You can also add a pinch of baking soda to the confectioners' sugar. This will help the icing retain some moisture and it will not dry out as fast.
* If you're making your own chocolate icing, add a teaspoon of unsalted butter to the chocolate while it is melting to improve the consistency.
