Ingredients for Vegan Cream Cheese Frosting:

vegan butter – Stick butter is easiest for measuring. Just cut up a full stick for the 1/2 cup of butter needed in the recipe.

vegan cream cheese – I like the firmness of Tofutti brand cream cheese for frosting.

vanilla bean paste – Personally, I prefer the flavor and thicker consistency of vanilla bean paste but vanilla extract can also be used in an equal amount.

powdered sugar – Also known as confectioners’ sugar.

How to make Cream Cheese Frosting:

Cream the butter. Into a large-size mixing bowl, add the softened vegan butter. Use a mixer on medium speed to beat the butter until the consistency is smooth.

Add the vegan cream cheese and vanilla bean paste, then continue mixing for 30 seconds, just enough to incorporate with the butter.

Mix in the powdered sugar. Switch the mixer speed to low then begin gradually adding the powdered sugar, 1 cup at a time until all is combined and the consistency of the frosting is thick but still spreadable.

Refrigerate until ready to use.

So Shannon had this wonderful idea to celebrate meagan's final chemo. We're going to have balloons, cake/cupcakes and I'm bringing crackers and cheese. Also I have mini canvases and permanent markers for the kids to each draw on (if they want) and then meagan can hang them together as a collage. I'm going to try to secure some picnic tables but I have blankets as back up. We'll do the craft, eat some snacks (and bring lunch for your family) then we'll hike Riverbend. Can someone forward this to tam? I don't have her in my phone book. And let me know if I forgot someone. ***Meagan only knows we're getting together to hike, she doesn't know anything else***

Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks for Success:

  • Allow cake layers or cupcakes to cool completely before adding frosting.
  • Store frosted cakes and cupcakes in the refrigerator.
