Admit to a liking is more passive, admit to liking is more active. Peanut butter and onion sandwiches sound gross.

In the second sentence you would not use 'for'. The difference between liking ** and a liking for ** is that the latter puts a tiny bit more emphasis on the liked-ness (warning- that may not be an actual word) instead of the object itself. So the first sentence is telling me "Enjoying those sandwiches is something I know is strange, but I will share this fact anyway" while the second (if you take out for) says "Someone has accused me of having strange tastes and I confess this is true".
