VEGAN FLUFFY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
This is our all-purpose "go to" frosting. It's great for piping into lush, swirling mountains of frostiness and just as good for spreading onto a cupcake like rolling hills of heaven. It make a lot, probably 4 cups' worth, so you can halve the recipe if you are going to be spreading the frosting rather than piping it.

FLUFFY CREAMY VEGAN FROSTING
This recipe comes from the writers of my all-time favorite cookbook, Veganomicon. It's everything you want in a frosting: fluffy, creamy, sweet (just rightly), and substantial enough that it stays put. Delicious on it's own and a great base to transform into other flavors as it suits you. I whipped it up in a food processor, as suggested in a review on the Post Punk Kitchen website, but I'll include here both sets of instructions, in case you've got a handy dandy electric mixer at your disposal. This version is slightly adapted from the original.

Steps:
- Food Processor Instructions:.
- Pulse the margarine in a food processor, scraping down the sides as needed.
- Add the soymilk and vanilla extract and pulse a few more times. Do not worry if it's not totally blended yet.
- Add the powdered sugar in three or so portions. Add one third and blend. Add another third and blend. Add the last bit and whirl it until fully incorporated and the frosting is smooth and fluffy.
- Add vanilla extract and whirl it around another few seconds.
- Spread on cakes, cupcakes, cookies, ritz crackers, whatever suits your fancy!
- Mixer Instructions, more or less as posted on the Post Punk Kitchen website:.
- Melt the margarine. I put it in a small bowl and microwave it, then use a plastic spatula to get it all out into the metal bowl.
- Add powdered sugar and soymilk, then beat on medium for about a minute, or until it's a good consistency for spreading.
- Stir in extracts and frost away!
- ALSO suggested:
- The original recipe is for chocolate frosting - add 2/3 cup cocoa powder before adding sugar in either form of preparation, and add 1 1/2 tsp almond extract with the vanilla.
- This would also be lovely with a little citrus zest - add orange or lemon zest with the extracts.

VEGAN BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
Super yummy frosting that is completely free of animal products! Yay! My husband and kiddo love it, and I am sure it will be a hit with your family and friends. Don't tell them it's vegan until after they try it, and they will be pleasantly surprised. The longer you beat the mixture, the more air is incorporated, and you'll get a fluffier frosting.
