Gluten Free, Sugar Free, Dairy Free Vegan Chocolate Frosting

Ok ok I know what most of ya'll are thinking: "WHAT, gross! No sugar?!  How can you even consider yourself a baker". Well I too was very skeptical of this GF SF DF Vegan Baking nonsense, but I was determined to give it a go!  One of my close friends/family members had developed a lactose allergy, and I believe everyone must have cake for there birthday...ENOUGH SAID.

So off on a hunt I went to find cupcake recipes that she could enjoy for her birthday. I stumpled upon Babycakes bakery (http://www.babycakesnyc.com/). After reading several fan comments, I decided I need this cookbook...and the specialty ingredients that the recipe calls for. In my opinion giving this recipe a shot and buying all the ingredients knowing there was a chance this idea would bust was worth it if I could have cake for my sweet sister in laws birthday!  So off I went trying to make this cake and icing.  The first go at it was successful and enjoyable, but I think this time it will be better, and the third time for my sister in laws bday would be a charm!
