For the best flavor, use ripe, in-season strawberries. Sifting the confectioners' sugar prevents lumps and ensures a smooth frosting. Adjust the amount of strawberries to your taste preference. More strawberries will result in a stronger strawberry flavor. This frosting can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow to come to room temperature before using. For a brighter pink color, add a drop or two of red food coloring.
