Strawberry Buttercream
As much as I love a fresh and palate-pleasing real strawberry buttercream, I knew I wanted to pipe these, so that meant I could not have any chunks in the frosting.

- 1 cup butter
- 1 bag (2 pounds) confectioners' sugar, about 7-8 cups
- 2 teaspoons strawberry extract
- 4 tablespoons milk
- 1 dash kosher salt
- 1 -2 drops pink food coloring
Put room temperature butter, strawberry extract, and salt into mixer. Add in confectioners' sugar one cup at a time, alternating with the milk until you have used it all.
Add in food coloring a drop at a time to determine desired color.
If your frosting is too thick you can certainly add more milk. I found that this is the perfect consistency for me to pipe roses using the 1M or 2D tip.
