You could try sealing it in an airtight container for a while and see if that helps. Is the frosting hard all the way through or did it just crust?

What type of icing is it? (Sounds like it could be fudge...)

The following thread has links to popular CC recipes for crusting American b/c's, fondant and doctored cake mix (WASC in various flavors):

Thank you for the reply. The second site is helpful. I'll try it differently and hope that it doesn't happen again. It was still edible.
