STRAWBERRY FROSTING

STRAWBERRY FROSTING RECIPE

Ingredients:

1 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened

8 cups icing sugar (confectioners’)

120 ml whipping cream

2 tablespoons pure vanilla extract

1 tablespoon water

pinch of salt

few drops of LorAnn Strawberry Flavor Oil (to taste)

few drops of AmeriColor Electric Pink Gel Color

Method:

Beat the butter and icing sugar in an electric mixer on low with the paddle attachment for about 2 minutes. Add the vanilla, water, whipping cream, salt, and strawberry oil, and whip on high speed until fluffy and smooth–about 4 minutes. Add colour and mix until well blended. If consistency is too thick, add more water 1 teaspoon at a time, then whip again for 30 seconds or so.

Makes enough to fill and frost a 3-layer (or 5-6 thin layers)
