It's officially strawberry season!!!! Well, it's June 23rd as I'm writing this, so it might not be strawberry season anymore when you're reading it. 😂🍓 If you want a scrumptious, sweet, and homemade strawberry topping then you've come to the right place. There is nothing like a fruit topping made from fresh fruit of the season. Added bonus if you get to actually pick them yourself! Every summer my daughters and I go picking strawberries at our local berry farm and come home with tons of fruit. This year was no different; we came home with 2 huge buckets of strawberries...I believe it ended up being just about 10 pounds 😳.

This strawberry topping was on the top of my list to make. It's super quick and easy and soooo good. Nothing you buy from the grocery store can come close to the fresh taste of this topping. Just wash your berries, slice them up, throw them in a pot, do a little magic, and BAM! You have the perfect strawberry dessert topping.

Chocolate cake topped with chocolate buttercream is one of my favorite desserts. Actually, it has been my birthday cake of choice for many years. There is nothing like homemade chocolate frosting on top of homemade chocolate cake. It's honestly a match made in heaven, for sure. This frosting is quick, easy, and pipes like a dream. Give this chocolate buttercream a try. I know you'll love it as much as I do.

Buttercream has long been a staple in the world of cakes and cupcakes. Among the many types of buttercream, Classic American Buttercream stands out as the most widely used and beloved variety. Its simplicity, versatility, and rich, sweet flavor make it a go-to for home bakers and professionals alike. Whether you're frosting a cake for a birthday, decorating cupcakes, or filling a batch of macarons, American Buttercream delivers the perfect balance of sweetness and texture that everyone loves. 

Classic American Buttercream is a simple, sweet frosting made primarily from butter, powdered sugar (also known as confectioners’ sugar), and a small amount of liquid, such as milk or cream. It is the most common buttercream used in the United States, especially for cake decoration and cupcakes. The frosting is light, fluffy, and easy to pipe, with a smooth texture that pairs beautifully with many types of cakes, from vanilla to chocolate.
