So, what exactly is Pastry Pride? It’s like whipped cream, but non-dairy. This means you can frost or fill a cake with it, and it can sit out for hours. It tastes smooth, creamy, and not too sweet. It can be purchased at cake decorating stores (it will be in a freezer), or at Smart & Final. I’ve had great success mixing in Nutella, raspberry freezer jam, or pudding to make a mousse-like filling. I just fold them into the whipped Pastry Pride. 

I do not recommend using Pastry Pride as a base frosting for fondant cakes. It is too fluffy and soft. However, as an outside frosting alone it is wonderful, and I have been able to get it as smooth as buttercream.
