I want my buttercream to be nice and spreadable but still crust nicely so I can smooth it. Will adding karo syrup or water to it make it lose it's ability to crust??



Unless you get the icing too thin I can't see how adding liquid will make it not crust.
Crusting is based on the sugar to fat ratio, not the liquid amount.

i tried a new recipe and it called for karo syrup and i followed the directions, and it came out awful, it was sticky, and nothing i could do would help it, the only time i use karo syrup is when i do my butter cream roses, just a bit, i found out this good hint on here, but i wouldn't use karo syrup to thin your bc i also use a little water.
