• 5-quart Stand Mixer with mixing bowl & paddle attachment
• Whisk or sifter
• Rubber Spatula
• Mixing bowls

Let’s Get Started!

How to Make Freeze-Dried Strawberry Buttercream 

1. In the stand mixer bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
2. Turn the mixer to low and add salt, vanilla, and freeze-dried strawberry powder. Mix until incorporated and scrape down the sides of the bowl. 
3. Next, gradually add powdered sugar, followed by the cream. Mix on medium-high speed for about 5 minutes until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl. 
4. Before decorating, turn the mixer on low and mix for 2 minutes to push out any air bubbles, or use a rubber spatula to push out the air bubbles. (You may need to repeat this step when frosting the outside of the cake).
