Why does my icing melt before I can finish decorating?

I just done a 3D bear cake and my icing started out good but about 15 minuites into decorating him my icing started melting and instead of my startip decoration looking like a star, it just looked like a big glob of melted icing...Help.
Thanks

before you start to decorate, mix powdered sugar into your frosting, it will help it thicken to hold the shape better.

Icing help

It probably got too warm from your hands holding the decorating bag, you could put the bag in the refrigerator for a bit to harden the icing back up.
