Make Strawberry Frosting Using Fresh or Freeze Dried Berries!

[@MennoniteFarmhouse]

I have dehydrated strawberries and turn them into powder and use them in icing and frosting…. Along with yogurts and smoothies and other baked goods. Love your video on both methods.

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you! ☺️

[@jenjen5580]

The freeze dried method has been my favorite one so far!! It truly is the only strawberry buttercream you'll ever need! And it wasn't overwhelmingly sweet..it was perfect! I managed to frost a 3 layer 8 inch chocolate cake with it perfectly, and topped it with gnache and fresh gnache covered strawberries to decorate! It was absolutely amazing😊 thank you for shqring!!❤️

[@lizoro4413]

Where can I get where did you get freezer dried strawberries?

[@samanthahenry5817]

​@lizoro4413 it's regular strawberries that's frozen. Walmart sells frozen strawberries as well.

Fantastic! They sound great! ❤

Fourth time trying to leave comment . You tube is giving me issues. Your videos are always interesting, useful and tasty. This dried berry recipe is exactly what I need to top the cake for my Son's "surprise party" cake. He loves berries yet this frosting will be a surprise ! LOL I dont have much luck with frozen berries they seem to toughen. Fresh are swell but so fragile. The dried berries is perfect way to be assured to enjoy strawberries any season. Thank you. You really makes a difference in so many lives !

[@SugarSpunRun]

Thank you for taking the time to get the comment through! I know how frustrating it can be sometimes. I love how easy the dried berries are. I hope your son loves the frosting. I have a really good feeling he will. ;)

Ill be trying the one with freeze dried strawberries! They both look great, but the freeze dried saves time. I think ill add a half tsp of strawberry extract or strawberry emulsion. Question, what piping tip did you use? Thank you! Love your videos...never disappoint!

[@XxGemini87xX]

In so excited to use the freeze dried strawberries one on my sifted 13th birthday cake! Question, can you make this in advance and if so how do you recommend storing it and for up to how long?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Fresh strawberry frosting will keep at room temperature for up to one day or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If making in advance, store in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface. You will need to let the frosting soften for a bit at room temperature and then stir before using. Strawberry frosting made with freeze-dried berries will keep at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week or longer. If making in advance, store in an airtight container with a piece of plastic wrap directly against the surface. You will need to let the frosting soften for a bit at room temperature and then stir before using. :)

[@Oceanadventures777]

You won't believe i wanted to try one of your vanilla or white cake recipes and strawberry buttercream this weekend and came across this video. 🎉🎉 Which vanilla or white cake recipe would you recommend that won't dry easily especially when placed in the chiller?

[@SugarSpunRun]

They are both great options. If you cover the cakes they shouldn't dry out, but honestly the refrigerator can dry out just about any cake.

[@Oceanadventures777]

Do you have a recipe for the cupcakes you used in the video love all your recipes ❤

[@SugarSpunRun]

It's my vanilla cake but I added some sprinkles. ☺️

[@lizoro4413]

How many cupcakes can you decorate with the amounts used? Thank you

[@SugarSpunRun]

This recipe makes enough frosting to generously cover 12 cupcakes (as seen in the video and photos) or modestly cover 24 cupcakes. It will also cover a 1-layer 13×9 cake or a 2-layer 8” or 9” cake (but you will not have extra frosting left to decorate the top/sides of the cake).

[@diyarbarware7536]

Except,,i have question i can use a litte bit of unflavored gelatin here ???to have a shape for along time❤❤❤❤❤

[@SugarSpunRun]

I haven't experimented with it so I can't say for sure how it would work. Let me know how it goes if you do try it. :)

[@Hekinsieden]

Step 1) pour ALL the sugar into the bowl Step 2) invite nearby people over to observe the beauty of buttercream Step 3) Crank mixer to highest setting

Hi Sam!! Thanks for this video. Question, when using the fresh strawberries in the buttercream you don't have to refrigerate cake right?

[@bassya2490]

Hi! Which strawberry mixture do u prefer? The one with fresh Strawberries or dried? Also do u think using organic ingredients will make a difference?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Personally I couldn't choose, they were both so good. Freeze dried is a little bit easier so I tend to gravitate towards that. Organic ingredients shouldn't change your flavor any. It should work just fine. ☺️

[@woopoo7171]

hihi how many cupcakes can the fresh strawberry recipe pipe?

[@SugarSpunRun]

24 if you do it modestly, or 12 if you do it generously. 😊

[@kyarasilva6740]

What’s the measurement for the powdered sugar ???

[@SugarSpunRun]

4 cups. I typically put all of the ingredients in the description if you ever need them in the future. 😊😊

[@fathimaiyoob7859]

Can you use frozen strawberries instead

[@SugarSpunRun]

Yup. ☺️

[@QuairasJourney]

Instead of adding heavy cream to loosen ur frostings , what method would be used to thicken ur frostings?

[@SugarSpunRun]

Generally adding more powdered sugar would work, but it really depends on the frosting. Which one are you looking to thicken?

[@QuairasJourney]

@@SugarSpunRun A classic / basic everyday buttercream frosting.

[@SugarSpunRun]

More powdered sugar or chilling should work then. You also want to make sure your butter isn't too soft either 😊

[@QuairasJourney]

@@SugarSpunRun Thank you so much ❤️

with this frosting can you taste the strawberry or is it just subtle?

[@melissastewart247]

Does anyone know how to thicken it up after you've messed up

[@SugarSpunRun]

Did you try more powdered sugar? How was it messed up if you don’t mind me asking?

[@melissastewart247]

My aunt made it but it was soupy and she tried adding more powdered sugar and now she has added flour lol idk it's a mess.

[@melissastewart247]

I also think she added way too many fresh strawberries and instead of folding them in a little at a time she dumped it all in and used a big fast mixer

[@SugarSpunRun]

Ahhh yeah unfortunately if you don’t cook down those berries enough and you add excess moisture it’s going to be difficult to save. You also need to make sure your reduction cools enough before continuing or else it will just melt the powdered sugar. 😔

[@k9m42]

You could just use strawberry preserves too

[@brandonanthony9566]

What about using watermelon? My kids love watermelon and id like to make it an icing

[@SugarSpunRun]

Watermelon is tricky because it’s SO much water. Cooking it down would probably be my first approach but I haven’t tried it yet
