Answer 3

You want it thick for cinnamon buns, you're supposed to ice the buns a few minutes after they come out of the oven so they melt the icing. Maybe what you want is an icing that's easily spread, rather than thin? If so, take a block of cream cheese, add about a half cup of sugar, 1tsp of vanilla, and whip them till you get the consistency you want.
