This frosting whips up into a pale, cloud-like base that turns smooth and fluffy in just a couple of minutes at the mixer. Sifted powdered sugar gets folded in gradually for a silky, lump-free texture, while a splash of vanilla and a pinch of salt round out the flavor so it's never one-note sweet. Adjust the liquid by the tablespoon to land exactly where you want it — thicker for piping clean borders and rosettes, looser for spreading in smooth, bakery-style swoops. It holds soft peaks beautifully, so it pipes cleanly and keeps its shape on cupcakes or layer cakes without weeping or sliding. Simple pantry staples and a stand mixer are really all you need to pull this off. It's an easy, reliable go-to for a dairy free dessert table.
