Request: Gluten Free, Vegan Cupcake Frosting Recipes?

[dray]

Anyone have any tried-and-true gluten free/vegan frosting recipes for cupcakes? I'd like to make some cupcakes for my coworkers to celebrate a semi-fancy engagement. I don't often bake, but frosting sans-dairy (and eggs? It's been years) has always been a bug-bear. Anything you've tried with substitutes for butter that isn't overwhelmingly coconut-oil flavoured would be helpful.

Thanks!

I don't have a specific recipe for you, but I've seen a lot of vegan frostings that use palm oil shortening like Spectrum. Palm shortening is flavorless and gives you a really great texture and a frosting that doesn't melt in warmer weather.
