Strawberry Swiss Meringue Buttercream Cake

strawberry buttercream Now this strawberry cake is great. But the frosting, well that is another story entirely.  In fact,  it really deserves its own post! It is one of the best frostings I have ever had! It has pieces of fresh strawberries and the flavor is smooth, creamy, and not as sweet as regular American buttercream.  It is a little bit harder to make, but worth it! Continue reading
