    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I prep this ahead?

    Yes! This vegan buttercream will last for 2 weeks in the fridge stored in an air tight container.

    Can I make this top 8 Allergen friendly?

    As long as you use a soy free vegan butter (we like Earth Balance soy free in the red tub) and a dairy free milk that’s safe (we like oat best) then this recipe is already Top 8 Free.

    Can I make this oil free?

    We get asked this question a lot. We do understand that many people are oil free for a variety of health and wellness reasons.

    Obviously, if you omit the oil, in this case, coming from the vegan butter, then it’s no longer a vegan BUTTERcream and more of just an icing or a glaze.

    However, it’s possible to do. Just omit the butter and proceed with the recipe.

    How much frosting do I need?

    This isn’t really a question that’s easy to answer. One complete recipe of this makes roughly 2 cups of buttercream.

    When we make our large cinnamon rolls, this is enough for to generously cover all of them.

    If you are doing a normal 9×13 sheet cake, a light icing on top of 24 cupcakes, or a more “naked” layered cake look then this should be enough vegan buttercream.

    However, if you are doing piping designs on your cupcakes or a multi-layered full icing cake, then you are going to want to double or triple the amount.

    How should I use nutmeg spice maple vegan buttercream?

    First, we will not judge you if you just lick it off the spoon. No judgements here. It’s that good.

    If you want a simple treat, then spread this across some graham crackers is really delicious.
