Best Answer

curdling is the process of lactic acid bacteria processing the protein called casein in milk to make cheese. butter is the fat from milk but it will still have traces of the protein, casein. if left at a comfortable temperature and good conditions, some species of bacteria from the family of streptococcus(family of lactic acid bacteria) can still process the casein in the butter.

Your butter may be too warm. The butter has to be soft to whip in the icing sugar, but don't let it get too soft. As long as you can smash it with a fork, it's probably soft enough to work in the sugar.
