Sabrina’s Strawberry Frosting Recipe
This pretty pink Strawberry Frosting is perfect to add to the top of cakes, cupcakes, brownies, and more! It’s similar to classic vanilla frosting but with the addition of freeze-dried strawberry powder for a bright color and lots of punchy berry flavor. It doesn’t take any longer to make than regular frosting but it turns your favorite desserts into something even more special! I used it on my classic Strawberry Cupcakes but feel free to try it on all your favorite berry desserts.
