After opening the tub, I know it will take me a while to use, how long will it last? And does it need to be in the fridge? Ohh and one more, it does crust right?

I tried to search to find the answers and found one post saying it does crust, but thought since I was asking the other questions, I'd ask anyway

Thanks!

I've never used it, so I'm not sure about the crusting part, but I think if you bought it at Sam's, it should be able to be kept out as long as it's air tight, although keeping it cool might make it last longer.
I wish I could tell you more, but I thought I'd reply to get it back up to the top.
Oh, and is there an expiration date on it?

I'm no help, but let me know how you like it, I've been wanting to try it since I don't have a KA and have NO desire to pay shipping on that much icing!

My friend works at Sam's the icing does crust but takes alittle longer than home made. It is good for up to 6 months at room temp does not need to be in ref.

I switched to Sam's icing and rarely make my own now. It does crust. There is an expiration date on the bucket. I keep it in the pantry, not in the fridge. Sometimes when I'm really busy I might use up a bucket in a couple weeks, or during downtime it might take a couple months.

HTH,
