I know it's something to do with the sugar/fat ratio, but of course I'm not smart enough to know exactly what icon_lol.gif

Crusting occurs only in fat (shortening and/or butter) plus powdered sugar icing. Basically, there is not enough moisture in the frosting to keep the very outside of it from drying out.
