Maybe the the way you're spreading it. I've had that issue before too and thats what I was doing wrong. Are you just flopping it on at one end and trying to spread it across the entire cake like butter on toast? -
Let it cool completely before frosting. I whip my frosting with a hand mixer to soften it before using, it also makes it light and fluffy. Make sure frosting is at room temp, or even a little warmer. Not so warm that it melts, but warm enough to be pliable. I spread a very thin crumb layer, freeze it to harden, then apply the layer of frosting that will be the outside.
Hope that helps!

Let it cool first. -
i guess how thick are you making your frosting and what kind of tool are you using to spread the frosting, also what kind of cake are you making, i have found certain recipes, i will alter my frosting for.
if you are talking about boxed cakes and canned frosting, try whipping the frosting first to fluffin it up. use a frosting spatula.

make sure your cake is completely cool before you start and I microwave my frosting in 3o second times to make it more spreadable and soft

Yeah, you let your mom or your mother in law do it.

I am very impatient, and have found that I have to let the cake cool COMPLETELY before i frost it (which is sooooo hard for me to wait!!!!)

microwave the frosting for 30 seconds (or more depending on your micro) to soften it.

That's pretty much what I do. Lol.

Make sure it is completely cooled. Putting it in the freezer before frosting helps a bunch too.
