Fresh Strawberry Buttercream Recipe

Bring summer sunshine into your cakes and bakes with this ultra-easy fresh strawberry buttercream recipe. You heard that right there are no artificial flavors or colors to be found here, just the sweetness of ripe berries, and their beautiful rosy hue. Use the freshest seasonal fruit for maximum strawberry flavor and sweetness. Avoid frozen berries for this recipe, as they change consistency when they thaw, resulting in runny buttercream. Pipe your strawberry buttercream on cupcakes, use as cake frosting, or use to fill sandwich cookies or macarons. It will also add extra decadence to a fudgy chocolate brownie. The subtle, floral flavor of rose pairs beautifully with strawberry, so feel free to add a small amount for an extra-special finished product.
