At this point the consistency should be a firm thick yet spreadable consistency that is good for using as the base for fondant and in between cake layers. However if you find it is too thick to spread easily add in milk or cream, 1 tbsp at a time until you reach the right consistency. If too thin add in more icing sugar, 1/4 cup at a time.
