Strawberry Buttercream Frosting

*Note this is a Light and Fluffy Buttercream for cakes or cookies

Ingredients:

*1 cup Butter, room temperature

*3 cups Powdered Sugar, sifted

*1 to 2 tablespoon Heavy Whipping Cream

*3 tablespoons mashed and pureed Strawberries or 1/4 cup Sliced Freeze Dried Strawberries, blended fine

*1 tablespoon, Vanilla Extract

*Pinch of Sea Salt, literally

Instructions:

Cream together, in a stand mixer on medium low speed, the butter and powdered sugar adding the powdered sugar in thirds. Mix until mixture is a pale yellow 2 to 3 minutes.

Add to the creamed mixture the heavy whipping cream, vanilla and sea salt. Mix for 6 minutes or until light and fluffy on medium high speed.

Mix in red food coloring, optional

Use Pastry Bags and Tips use decorative cake tips as desired for cake decorating. I like the star tip, 1M tip and round tips of all sizes.

This is a small Batch of Buttercream Frosting, you will need to double this recipe for frosting a 4 layer (6 inch Round Cake (Pans) or 3 Layer cake (8 inch Round cake (Pans) and you will need to make a third Batch of frosting for more decorated cake.
