Eating colorful frosted cupcakes or other treats doesn't require artificial food coloring! Please be my guest and use this vegan frosting any way you wish, even if you just prefer going the traditional route by frosting cake or cupcakes. The flavor is a hint fruity, which actually makes it quite versatile. Its pink hue comes naturally by way of pomegranate juice reduction.
