Instructions

For the Cake:

1. Bake your favorite strawberry cake as directed. You can use a box mix too if you like

For the frosting:

1. In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat the butter on medium high speed for 6 minutes until light and fluffy. Add in the rest of the ingredients and mix on low speed for 1 minute or until combined. Increase speed to medium-high and beat the frosting for 5 minutes until fluffy and light.
2. Divide the frosting, reserving 1 to 2 cups, into mixing bowls and add one to two drops of the gel color of your choice.
3. Use the frosting at apart to fill your cake and crumb coat. Using Wilton tip 1M or tip 21, start with your darkest color and pipe rosettes around your cake in one row. Repeat the process, using lighter colored frosting, until the cake is covered in rosettes.
