Strawberry Buttercream Frosting Recipe

Strawberry Buttercream has to be one of my family’s favorite flavors of frosting. How could it not be since we are all about strawberry everything!

Perfect for spring and summer, this strawberry buttercream frosting is so delicious on so many baked goods it will quickly become one of your favorites, too! Promise.

Well, if you like strawberries, that is.

This past weekend, I whipped up a batch of this strawberry buttercream frosting to use on my niece’s cake for her graduation party. It was by her request when I asked her what kind of cake she wanted for her party.

This delicious buttercream works perfectly on so many baked goods from cakes and cupcakes to topping cookies or just smooshing between two vanilla wafers if you are in a hurry.

I do have a few tricks to make your buttercream frosting light and fluffy and bakery perfect look!

To make my strawberry buttercream frosting, you’ll want to be sure to follow the instructions of adding the confectioner’s sugar ½ cup at a time and then turning your mixer onto a high speed for the fluffiest of frostings.

Here’s my Strawberry Buttercream Frosting recipe. I can’t wait to hear how you  love it.
