How smart! I use simply fruit in my yogurt sometimes, but never thought of it for frosting. I’m going to try this tonight. A good excuse to have to make some cupcakes!
Thanks for visiting Toni. I like your yogurt idea yummm!
I’ve done that very same thing with our homemade strawberry jam for a strawberry cake for my daughter and it was so good! I make most of our frosting with cream cheese now. I like that it keeps the sugar content lower.
Strawberry cake with strawberry frosting!! Oh my girls would LOVE that!
I agree that Little Chef is off to a great start as a cake decorator. That cake looks delicious. I will give your frosting a try.
Yum! and beautiful too! Thanks for sharing this on The HomeAcre Hop! See you Thursday on the next hop!

This looks AWESOME! I think that I might have to try this for my daughter’s b-day coming up next month! Yum! Thanks for sharing at what i am eating 🙂
Hey! just found your website through LHITS -love it! My younger daughtet turns 10 next weekend and I think we’ll be trying this recipe. And I can’t wait to make the seaoning mixes you have on here too. We have slowly weaned ourselves off of a lot of the store bought stuff ( like ranch dressing) and are getting quite spoiled on homemade everything! It’s actually quite fun, not to mention tasy and frugal. Keep posting! I’ll be back! And thanks! John 3:16
Hi Katie! Thanks so much for the nice comment. 🙂 Happy birthday to your daughter!! I have a 10 year old and it’s a wonderful age, she is my cooking partner. Many Blessings
We used this recipe for my 4-year-old’s birthday cake. We already had some commercial strawberry cream cheese, which is really just the same thing, so we used that for pink frosting. She also wanted purple and blue. For the purple, I used seedless blackberry jam. (frosting with seeds is no good!) For the blue, I added some neon blue food coloring to the blackberry frosting. The frosting was a little runny (I used low fat cream cheese; I wonder if that’s why?) but it still worked great and was a big hit!
