Commercial cake frostings are usually buttercream and thickened with confectioner's sugar (powdered) or thickened with a little Gelatin (it's what makes marshmallows spongy). If the frosting has any water in it, heat it (to evaporate the moisture) just until it is at a simmer and stir until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. Allow to cool and it will "set." If it's a buttercream frosting, add more confectioners sugar, slowly, while whipping in a mixer until it's the right consistency. If you do have instant, unflavored gelatin, mix a little with some hot water and add to your icing while whipping, then cool to set. I hope that helps you!
WHIPPED CREAM ICING2 c. heavy cream (or whipping cream)
1/4 c. powdered sugar
1/8 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. instant coffee (optional)
At medium speed heat cream with sugar, salt and coffee until stiff peaks form. Fold in vanilla. After icing, refrigerate cake until serving.
Making It:

add a bit of butter not loads a little bit
Leave it in the freezer for about 5-10 minutes
You add powdered sugar. To make a pefect batch of icing is a stick of butter and ass icing until it is nice and foamy. To make chocolate just add coco powder to the recipe
Add more confectioner's sugar.
add more powdered sugar :D
yes, they are very similar. Cream of tartar is only slightly less acidic.
Frostings that are made without cornstarch and powdered sugar are thickened by cooking and beating. The beating incorporates air into the sugar syrup, producing a spreadable frosting.
To make butter cream frosting thicker you should put it in the fridge, or beat it in a bowl over (not in) ice, or mix in a little more butter. If it is egg-white frosting put it in the top of a double boiler and beat it a little over simmering water. :)
