Pink and sweet, this buttercream holds the memory of summer berries in every spoonful. Soft enough to spread, bold enough to stand on its own, it turns any cake into a celebration.

Searing the Beef

Try raspberry or blackberry jam for a deeper berry note.
For a stronger strawberry flavor, add a teaspoon of freeze-dried strawberry powder.
Storage: keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Rewhip before using.

Place the butter in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on high until very pale and whipped, stopping at least twice to scrape down the bowl.

Turn the speed to low and slowly add the icing sugar, mixing until fully combined. Scrape the bowl again to ensure an even texture.

average rating is 5 out of 5

Created to crown a batch of strawberry cupcakes, this buttercream quickly found its way onto chocolate layers, vanilla sponges, and more than a few spoons. Fruity, soft, and just indulgent enough, it feels like dessert and childhood all at once.

I’ll preface this by saying I’m not a chef — just someone who loves to cook and needed a place to gather and share the recipes that have shaped my kitchen.

 

From the classics that are always on rotation to the discoveries I’ve stumbled upon along the way, you’ll find them here. Each recipe is shared in its original form, with Anthology’s Notes added at the end to reflect the tweaks and touches that suit our table.

 

Over the years I’ve tried to make many recipes my own, so you’ll also see those variations woven in.

 

Basically: cook, taste, adjust, and repeat.
