Buttercream is the most delicious treat and I love to decorate all my cupcakes and cakes with it. It holds its shape, it makes my baking look incredible and its taste is just an added bonus. A lot of the time, because of convenience, I tend to use vanilla essence as my go-to buttercream flavoring. But, with time, and a lot of baking, it gets kind of boring. I use to switch it up with almond flavoring, but my kids do not enjoy it as much. And in my attempt to make our diets a bit healthier, albeit not by much, I had an idea. For my next batch of cupcakes, I decided to incorporate some fresh fruit into my recipe. In the buttercream, in particular, it would give flavor without having to resort to an essence. So today we are making fresh cherry buttercream frosting.

Frosts a 13 X 9- inch cake or fills and frosts (two) 8- or 9-inch cake layers or 24 cupcakes. Adjust to consistency you like by adding more liquid or more powdered sugar. If your powdered sugar is lumpy you might want to sift it before whipping it. If you use milk instead of the cherry juice you might want to add a few drops of red food coloring.
