I used this to decorate my vegan lemon cupcakes. I got this recipe from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World, a very good lil cake book. I decorated my cakes with edible green glitter.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup shortening
1/4 cup soy margarine
2 cups icing sugar
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla essence
Directions:
1. In a small bowl cream shortening and margarine together until well mixed.
2. Add the icing sugar in 1/2 cup additions. After each addition add a splash of lemon juice and beat well (this is easiest with hand held mixer). Add vanilla and beat for another 3-5 minutes until you have a smooth creamy and fluffy frosting.
3. Wrap tightly in plastic and refrigerate until needed. Pipe or spread over cakes and refrigerate to set.
