Noticing a push for fancy buttercream designs in home baking

Lately, I see so many videos where folks are doing intricate buttercream flowers and patterns on their cakes. It looks amazing, but my tries often end with the icing melting or colors bleeding together. I had a small win last month with a simple rosette design that held up well at a family party. How do you keep your buttercream firm enough for detailed work?

Three years ago, I tried piping buttercream roses in my humid kitchen, and it was a total disaster.

Chill your buttercream (no, really, chill it) before starting.

Ever tried chilling like @wyatt_foster84 said, because humidity wrecks my piping too?
