I am confused. You are talking about needing the frosting to be "harder" but I think you mean thicker.

Then you talk about it "not being soft". What is it you really want from the frosting.

If you need it Thicker for decorating you have to add more powdered sugar before you frost the cake. It's not going ot set up more once it is on the cake.

Put it in the freezer for a brief time-watch it closely. Then decorate.

If it is not on the cake, yet, (in a bowl) add more powdered sugar.
