No Milk No Egg Frosting Recipe?

I found a decent cake recipe for my son's first bday but am having a hard time finding a frosting that doesn't have any milk or egg. Anyone got any ideas?

Also there was a woman that did a cake with pretzels and other items and shaped it into a car when here son was younger. If she could also respond again with that recipe that would be great!
Thanks everyone!

What can I do next?

So What Happened?™

I ended up using the "wacky cake" recipe and the frosting that had conf sugar, shortening, butter (I used non dairy smart balance), clear vanilla and water with food coloring. IT WAS A HIT!!! The cake was sooooo moist and good. The best cake I have ever made from scratch. The frosting was good too! Thank you soooo much ladies for all your suggestions. Your responses were so kind and informative. I truly appreciate it! You helped make my son's one year bday party a hit!

My son has dairy and egg allergies (as well as nut) so I'm always on the lookout for products without. If you can believe it one of the store made frostings was clear of everything - I got it for his 1st birthday. i just can't remember if it was Duncan hines, betty crocker or what - but it was in the grocery store and was a regular brand. Just read the ingredients. Good luck!

My sister always makes her frosting from shortening and confectioners sugar using water to thin when necessary. The longer you beat it the fluffier it gets.

You could also use fresh fruit/fruit sauces to decorate the cake.

Pillsbury original vanilla and chocolate frostings are both milk and egg free! :)

My mother in law makes one with sugar & crisco. It's sweet, but so delicious! And it's easy to color it for whatever you need. I can get the recipe if you're interested.

there are many good VEGAN recipe websites...just do a search and you will find them. I am not at home this week so do not have my recipes available. I have 2 Vegan children and I am wheat intolerant so most of my cooking is milk and egg and wheat free.

Hi N.
This is my recipe for frosting, I always use it, and everyone has always LOVED it!

1/2 C. shortining
1/2 C. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
4 C. confectioners sugar
2 tsp water
cream butter and shortining. add sugar on cup at a time. add water as necessary.
note: use clear vanilla if you want the color to be white.
hope this helps!

there's a brand in Stop and Shop's organic section (Cherry Brook or something like that) that has an egg free, wheat free, dairy free vanilla or chocolate frosting mix. I've made their sugar cookies and they were pretty good.
Best of luck!

I don't have a specific recipe in mind, but anything that is listed as vegan should avoid milk and egg. I just searched vegan frosting recipes on google and found a bunch of stuff. Good luck!
