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 BASIC VANILLA FLUFFY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING
From Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero's book "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World". This easy "buttercream" frosting is as good (if not better) then any other I've ever had. I was very pleasantly surprised when I first made it! I defy you to tell the difference!

Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use full-fat coconut milk.
- If you don't have coconut oil, you can substitute another neutral-flavored oil, such as avocado oil or sunflower oil.
- To make the frosting extra fluffy, whip it on high speed for several minutes until it reaches stiff peaks.
- If you want a sweeter frosting, add more powdered sugar to taste.
- For a more complex flavor, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract.
- This frosting is best used immediately, but it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
