Carrot Cake Frosting
Posted by monkey7 on Feb 05, 2011 · Member since Sep 2009 · 324 posts
My dad has requested a carrot cake when I go to visit. What would be the best frosting to top it off with? I know cream cheese frosting is the traditional frosting but I am not sure if vegan cream cheese will taste the same to an omni. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Also, does anyone have a vegan marzipan recipe or know of a store bought brand I can pick up?
Thank you

actually icing made with Tofutti cream cheese is pretty darn good

Add a little cider vinegar for a little more of the cream cheese tang OR add some pineapple juice and ginger to it.

Thank you for the suggestion. :)
I like the lime buttercream frosting in Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World on carrot cake. Sounds strange - but the lime really gives a tang for a similar effect as the cream cheese. No, not the same....but really good.
Vegan cream cheese frosting is fucking awesome. Make it, omnis adore it!
I sometimes make a lemon buttercream frosting instead of cream cheese frosting. Or cinnamon buttercream.
related question: anyone tried a decent recipe for making vegan cream cheese?
I bought som vegan cream cheese today and will let you all know how my family likes it this weekend. ;)b
Cream cheese frosting is good. I think vanilla frosting would be pretty good. Coconut frosting maybe. Lemon as well???? I don't know. Use your own discretion.
