Good Morning!!
I have had a special request from a friend of mine to make a strawberry cake without using real strawberries! This is a challange as I do not have a frosting recipe that does not use real strawberries.
Does anyone have a strawberry buttercream recipe without strawberries?
Thanks!!
Suggestion: how about strawberry flavoring? Or, if you have berries, puree them, strain, and put the puree into the icing? I'd start there. Hope this helps you out.
[edited to add:] I have made a great strawberry cake starting with a mix the past. Check out The Cake Mix Doctor ... she's got some great ideas in her book.

Actually, I had plans to try this very thing for a cake this week. Here's my idea...how about strawberry jello? Just a thought, I really don't know how it will turn out, BUT, the wild strawberry jello with the sweet buttercream might just work!
Ya think?

I tried strawberry jello once and it just produced a grainy icing that I threw out. You would somehow have to dissolve the jello for it to work, I think. Next time, I plan on using some of the syrup from the frozen strawberries I use in my strawberry cake.

I certainly don't want to "steal" a thread, but, were you doing buttercream icing? I was wanting to mix the strawberry jello with whipping cream and powdered sugar for a filling. Ever tried that?
