SO HOW'D IT GO?
This recipe remained a bit gritty. I was beating for a long time before giving up (mind you, I used whole foods vegan sugar, which is white but is still not as refined as regular white sugar would be). It's oh-kay, edible, but not fantastic.
Baypuppy- Try using the decorative frosting I reviewed a couple of days ago. It was very tasty, and not grainy b/c it used powdered sugar. I really think that granulated sugar would stay gritty here.
Should we use powdered sugar or granulated sugar in this?
