hi there, I need help with my butter icing

I work in a bakery and we make many 10 kg lots of butter icing, made with water instead of milk. I was wondering if it is possible to over beat butter icing as sometimes it seems to separate, or maybe over softening of the butter could cause this?
Thanks for your help,
Sophie

Maybe your adding too much water I myself never used water Although I do soften my butter in the mic & have never had a problem .
this is my recipe: I cream tog 2 sticks of butter 1/2 c. shortening, add 1 ts almond extract, 1 ts.butter extract, & 1 ts. vanilla extract . 1/3 c milk cream this tog / butter mix add 2 lbs powder sugar mix. Add milk a bit at a time till I get the consistancy I like.
Hope this helps
