Sweet Margarine is NOT Frosting!, Guest

I didn't realize there were reviews for this frosting before making this. I just made it and realized it tasted like runny sweet margarine (more on the margarine side). I used Earth Balance btw. Anyway, much too runny so I ended up dumping probably around 2-3 times more icing sugar EVEN THEN I knew it tasted a little bit too bland...but alas, I added about 4-5 drops of vanilla extract and YES! I mean, this frosting didn't turn out like the crazy icing you see on cupcakes in the store, but it's my first time making vegan cupcakes and vegan frosting, so it could have been worse. Also wanted to note that I don't have a blender, so I whipped this by hand, don't know if that would have made a difference in consistency. Definitely not following this recipe again, but I'm glad the chef in me was able to troubleshoot this frosting lol.
