Once all ingredients have been added, whip the buttercream on high speed for 2-3 minutes until light and airy. (3 mins)
For a deeper caramel flavor, try using dark brown sugar.
If the buttercream is too thick, add a teaspoon of soy milk at a time until desired consistency is reached. If too thin, add more confectioners' sugar.
Ensure the caramel mixture is completely cool before adding it to the shortening mixture to prevent melting.
For the best results, use a high-quality vegan margarine.
