@Ginny and Susan - I recently went to a vegan and gluten free wedding and they used a product called Earth Balance to make the frosting. I'm not sure if it was the vegan buttery sticks - http://www.earthbalancenatural.com/#/products/vegan-sticks/ - or the shortening sticks - http://www.earthbalancenatural.com/#/products/shortening/. Might work for someone dairy free.
For the record, I'm ok with vegan or gluten free, but both was a little much.
I've used the Earth Balance shortening, and I'm not sure where they'd be for flavor, but the buttery sticks sound like a promising avenue. Thanks for the heads up. Susan
