This raw vegan frosting is such a gorgeous alternative to traditional buttercream frosting and I'd say it's probably way easier to make as well! You can play around the with flavours too, add some cacao, or peppermint essence or even some almond extract. You could also add food colouring if you wanted to create a particular look!
