i made my buttercream icing and thinned it (Per Wilton) to spreading consistancy with almot 2 tbls of corn syrup... (recipe called for 2 tbls)...but it never would fully crust.. after 20 minutes i tried to smooth it with parchment and fondant roller but some of it was still sticky.. so should i just omit the corn syrup? grrrrrrrrrrrrrr

 What makes icing crust is the ratio of fat to sugar.  The more fat the less it will crust.  Using corn syrup also slows/stops the crusting ability :(  It sound like you might not have gotten the syrup well mixed in.  And.........what is the weather like were yu are?  Hot & humid  also will slow the crusting.  k

I never had much luck w/parchment paper smoothing.  I prefere using a paper towel.  One can get some really nice imbossing from them :)
