we all have days like that lol - hope you're able to rescue it :) Edit: soften the butter mixture before adding the water, don't add it to the mixture straight from the fridge (I'm sure you would have known that tho)

Make a batch of scones quickly, spread over hot scones with cream & strawberry jam & quickly eat the evidence. then start over telling no one. :-)

glad your frosting wasn't all wasted. I did a very very basic cake decorating course in the winter and when I over whipped my butter cream - didn't even realise this could be done - the teacher told me about adding the warm water :)
