In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream the butter until it is light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Gradually add the powdered sugar, one cup at a time, mixing on low speed to avoid powdered sugar clouds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.
Once all the powdered sugar is incorporated, add the Karo light corn syrup, vanilla extract, milk, and salt.
Mix on medium-high speed for 2-3 minutes until the frosting is smooth, creamy, and glossy.
Adjust the consistency as needed. If the frosting is too thick, add more milk, one teaspoon at a time. If it is too thin, mix in more powdered sugar, a tablespoon at a time.
Use immediately to frost cakes, cupcakes, or cookies, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Allow to come to room temperature and mix again before use.
