So pretty. Your buttercream looks so fluffy! Did you flavour it, or just vanilla?

This was the best frosting I ever made. I don't know why, but I guess I just hit everything the right way. I didn't even put vanilla in it, because those candies are so strong, I wanted them to just mix in with the buttercream flavor.

It's nice and white, though, because I used the trick of putting a speck of purple in it to balance out the yellow of the butter.

Genius! It's funny, because I do that with my dyeing all the time, but it never occurred to me to do it to the frosting!

It's amazing how well it works. I stick a toothpick into my concentrated purple color and then just dip the tip into the frosting. Instant bright white!

That looks so good! I got the book Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World a little while back, and wanted to try the gingerbread cupcakes for Christmas, but just never got around to it. What recipe did you use?

I used the recipe from Crazy About Cupcakes. I really like that book and use the ideas in there all the time.
