Real Strawberry Frosting image

I wanted REAL strawberry frosting for my Real Strawberry Cupcakes and could not find an acceptable recipe. I wanted an intense strawberry taste without using an extract or gelatin. I came up with this recipe using a strawberry puree reduction that is truly the strawberry-est. If you love strawberries, you'll LOVE THIS!!!

I was disappointed with this frosting. It was too runny, and it didn't have much flavor.

This frosting was a bit too sweet for my taste, but it was still good. I think I would use less sugar next time.

This frosting is delicious! I used it on a vanilla cake, and it was the perfect complement to the cake. The frosting was sweet and tangy, and it had just the right amount of strawberry flavor.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the frosting turned out beautifully. It was smooth and creamy, and the strawberry flavor was delicious. I used it on a chocolate cake, and it was a perfect match.

This frosting is the perfect balance of sweet and tangy. It's not too heavy, so it doesn't weigh down the cake. I used it on a white cake, and it was a hit! My family loved it, and it's my new go-to frosting recipe.
