Yes, I like it!

N.B.
I substituted peanut butter for cream cheese in the frosting, and didn't use pecans.

1/2 cup vegan butter
1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
3 cups sugar
2 tablespoons soya drink
1 teaspoon vanilla extract.

Melt granulated sugar with soya drink and allowed to cool. Use hard vegan butter softened to room temperature. Decorate around the outside edge with rainbow sprinkles.
