Ensure the butter is properly softened to avoid lumps in the frosting. Sifting the confectioners' sugar is crucial for a smooth, grit-free frosting. Do not over-microwave the cream and flour mixture; it should be just thick enough to coat the back of a spoon. If the frosting appears too soupy after adding the cream mixture, continue beating until it reaches the desired consistency.
