Strawberry Butter Cream Frosting

  • 1 1/2 sticks of butter
  • 15 strawberries
  • 6 cups of powder sugar

Create by using softened butter with an immersion blender place in the strawberries and powder sugar and mix all together until smooth, it takes a while, but the juice from the strawberries creates enough liquid to make it smooth…

   I placed the first layer on the cake plate, and then spread nutella over it and then made a layer of cut strawberries, then placed the top layer on..

The final cake… So delicious!!!
