Does anyone have an easy recipe for a strawberry buttercream icing? Or something that would go well with strawberry cake, and that doesn't need to be put in the fridge? Thanks icon_biggrin.gif

You could take a stand BC recipe and add strawberry flavour/extract/oil in place of some of the liquid. As long as you don't mind pink icing.

Chocolate also goes well with strawberry.

My recipe is:
1 stick of butter
1/2 cup of crisco
1 tsp of vanilla
1/2 tsp of strawberry flavoring
4 cups of powdered sugar
2 Tblsp. pureed frozen strawberries

May need to add a bit more powdered sugar if it becomes too thin.

For future convenience, I puree the entire container of frozen strawberries and pour them into ice cube trays and when they are frozen, pop them out and put them in freezer baggy. Saves time and $$$.

So will the strawberry flavoring give it a good strawberry flavor (did that sound right lol)? I'll pick some up and try it. And wow mac! That really sounds great!! I'll be giving that recipe a try for sure icon_biggrin.gif , and that's a great idea with the ice cube trays! thumbs_up.gif

The last time I needed strawberry frosting I simply added strawberry extract to my buttercream frosting (to taste) and added about 1/2 Strawberry puree, which I made using 4 large strawberries and a little frosting... threw it in the blender (don't own a processor), then added to the frosting. Mixed it all in my Kitchenaid. It was great!
