Are you just trying to reduce your dairy intake and need something which is just as good as regular buttercream (if not better)? Well you are very lucky because there are some solid vegan recipes coming your way this month! Starting with my Vegan Buttercream recipe.

Which vegetable shortening do you use pls ? ………my two granddaughters have milk allergies so I'm always experimenting with dairy free options……….I have the added prob of living in a hot country (Cyprus) which when it comes to Birthday cakes can be a nightmare !!!!
Can i use all vegan butter or vegetable shortening?
Where i live it only has one of them..
Can you store the buttercream?
Does the buttercream work with fondant?
TY so much in case I have to make a vegan cake i needed this recipe 🙂 TFS
Can this be frozen? How long could it last in a fridge?
Does anyone know if this buttercream sets firm in the fridge like a regular buttercream?
By vegetable shortening which would be better trex which is 100% fat or something lie stork vegetable fat spread which is 75%
Why can't I use only the vegan shortening? Why is the vegan spread needed?
hi we love you so much at our home please please i need this recipe in cups we live new york thanks so much your the best baker …xoxo
im not vegan but my daugther is and nieces when they visit once amonth they love when i make treats i need more treat and desert vegan please godbless you are the best baker xxoxo
Can I store the leftover buttercream in the freezer/chiller?
Omg I love your videos. I was wondering what brand of butter you’re using I’m having such a hard time finding sunflower margarine! I can only find olive oil, canola oil, etc. Thanks.
My son can't eat dairy and I needed to ice his birthday cake so I used this recipe but with a little less almond milk. It turned out great, coloured well and tasted really nice too. If in Australia and you can only find copha you need to really soften it in the microwave first because I ended up mixing with the hairdryer on the bowl to get the little vegetable shortening lumps out of the first step despite it being super soft when I started, I had to mix for a lot longer so incorporated too much air. Thank you so much for the recipe you made our first dairy free birthday party a lot easier to get ready for. Now all I have to do is convince him to eat chocolate cake so I don't have to taste margarine in our cakes anymore. Could you make a dairy free vanilla sponge cake recipe that is strong enough to frost in layers? The two recipes I have, one is a fatless sponge so too light to ice and the other is a Madeira and I find them a bit heavy in texture.
My buttercream comes out 'crunchy', with the sugar giving a gritty texture. Do you have suggestions for making it smoother?
What's the point in being vegan.. and eating horrible unhealthy fat! 🥺
Thanks Jemma, the spread and vegetable shortening made a very good Dairy Free icing 👍 Made my freind very happy on thier birthday with lots of cupcakes ☺
When would you use chocolate buttercream vs whipped chocolate ganache?
Thank you!! Just what I was looking for 💜💜
I have recently done this recipe and used orange juice for the liquid and also added some, 'extra' cocoa powder to the mix, it was delish and thankfully not as sweet as regular buttercream
I’m trying to find good recipes that my nana can eat so that I can make her a cake for Christmas specially for her to eat, I want to make deep blue hydrangea flower designs out of icing and I was wondering if this buttercream would set enough to form the flowers?
Skskskksksks and I oop n I oop
Loved this! Hope you’ll make more vegan recipes, also after veganuary #VeganForEverything 🌍🐷❤️
Please make more videos for this year’s veganuary!!! ❤️
Shut your yapper. Get to cooking and less talking
That's amaaaazing! MORE VEGAN VIDEOS PLEAAAASE
For how many cupcakes is the recipe?😍
I'm looking vegan ingredient cause dairy one can be much expensive
I don't understand your measurements! I can't measure grams. I just have standard US measuring spoons and cups. Can you tell me the measurements in US standard please?
Does anyone know how many cupcakes this recipe will frost ???? 🙂
Thanks Gemma. I wanted to make a cake for a vegan friend, but all the recipes I found seemed a little OTT in terms of using alternative ingredients, like expensive coconut oil (which does impart the flavour of coconut, I don't care what anyone says!)
I'm a little wary of using bicarb because I always get an unpleasant aftertaste, or fizz on the tongue, when eating shop bought scones or soda bread. But, I'll give it a try!
What is shortening? Is it a vegetable lard? Thanks. X
I would love to see a buttercream recipe that doesn't include hydrogenated products. They are so bad for you I would never serve it to my friends or family.
Thanks so much for this recipe Jemma! I actually visited C&D in 2018 and bought the vegan Biscoff cupcake – beautiful!
Could I use cocoa powder mixed with plant milk in place of melted chocolate?
You’ve made a very traditional Caribbean frosting. Vegetable shortening holds better on warm weather and in our countries is common to see fully decorated cakes outside the house while temp reaches 90 degrees 🥵😋☺️ look for Puertorican frosting.
For all of us (who ate the cream on a cake I made) it was unbearably sweet! When I put half of the sugar it felt sweet enough. But I was worried it would be runny so I added all… Big mistake.
Can vegan margarine be chilled
