Hi Joey! I’m not familiar with using vegan butter so I can’t say for sure how it would turn out. If it’s really soft it may have difficulty holding shape. If you do try it I would love to know how it turns out. 🙂

I’ve scrolled through about 5 pages of comments but I don’t see what I’m looking for, and I know this is a bit of an old post but crossing my fingers you see this, desperately needing to make this for my kids’ birthday. Thanks so much for the recipe, it sounds delicious~~. By any chance would you know if this would work if I subbed with vegan butter?

Excellent frosting and so easy to make. I’ll never use vanilla canned frosting again.

Yummy! I doubled this recipe for on top of Sugar Spun Run’s Birthday Cupcakes — delicious!
I ran out of powdered sugar, so I added some honey for sweetness. Surprisingly, it worked well and added a nice flavor.

Perfect. Used it for a birthday cake. Used milk instead of cream. Added a bit more milk to make it thinner and a bit less sweet.

First time baker. Made homemade chocolate chocolate chip muffins, with this frosting….. super easy and super good! I used a hand mixer and followed directions exactly. Difficult level, zero!

Great recipe. I made a few adjustments and here is why:
1) The salted butter and no cream allows for the icing to stay at room temperature for a few days. Yes, I still add the salt and even go as far as to grind it to a powder first.
2)Add half of the salt, taste and see if you want to use the rest being the butter is salted.
3) In place of cream, I use corn syrup. This makes the icing even more smoother and allows for a nice sheen on the icing plus I don’t need to keep it refrigerated for a couple of days.
*Note: salted butter is fine at room temp for several days but don’t do that with unsalted. Enjoy!

Hi Tracy! I think that should work just fine. It would probably stay good in the freezer for several months. 🙂

If you have extra can it be frozen without compromising the texture? If so how long?

Will this cover a 9 x 13 sheet pan cake?

I found that I needed to make an extra half of a batch to icing my 9” layer but it is a very good icing.

You can use milk here, but you will likely need less. 🙂

Hi Sam,
thanks for the beautiful recipe but if I don’t have cream can I use milk instead?

Hi Lyndsay! I would recommend using milk instead. You will probably need less. 🙂

I have whipped cream in an aerosol can. Do you think I could sub that for the heavy cream? Any idea what the ratio would be?

In reply to Brittany.

Hi Brittany! Absolutely you can! Just leave out the salt called for in the recipe. I hope you love the frosting! 🙂

Can I use the salted?

🤣 I thought you might be looking at the cake at the same time. I would definitely say the butter is causing your issue. I’m glad you enjoy it. 🙂

In reply to Sam.

Lol I’m not sure why I thought the eggs could be the problem! 🤣 I made the cake also and came to the frosting from the cake! I think every time I’m doubling the cake and then making the frosting and ending up short on my butter. Then getting the last stick from the fridge and trying to warm it. I’m going to try it again with room temp only!!!! Thank you for the response! The cake it also amazing!

Hi Jacinda! You shouldn’t have any eggs here. If you are seeing an odd texture and your butter wasn’t at room temperature, it could be small lumps of butter that just weren’t smoothed out.
