So we had an owner special-order a birthday cake. Difficulty: must be gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and soy-free. Seriously. A vegan with celiac and an allergy to soy! I suggested we put a candle in a banana & call it a day. It would look and definitely taste better than the cake we put together.

Holy crap. I feel horrible for that person.

The Lord wept and hid His eyes, and darkness swept the land, when the "frosting" was applied to that cake. Canola oil + powdered sugar + endless hand whipping = something approximating, yet completely unlike delicious buttercream.

OMG :'(

If it lifts your spirits, guys, I decided that my birthday cake will be frosted entirely with whipped ganache. NOT vegan ganache :D

I didn't even know ganache could be whipped

I have had some really good gluten-free/dairy-free desserts, but eliminating eggs takes it into a whole 'nother realm of culinary expertise. Good luck.

What does that poor person eat on a daily basis? :(
