VEGAN BASIC VANILLA FLUFFY BUTTERCREAM FROSTING

From Isa Chandra Moskowitz and Terry Hope Romero's book "Vegan Cupcakes Take Over The World". This easy "buttercream" frosting is as good (if not better) then any other I've ever had. I was very pleasantly surprised when I first made it! I defy you to tell the difference!
