On Tuesday I made banana cupcakes and used your Brown Sugar Cream Cheese frosting recipe. My daughter and I both found it to be yummy though I thought that it was a bit gritty. I have to admit to cutting the butter to 1 1/4 cups and only used 4 cups of powdered sugar...would that have made a difference? I'm wondering if I should try again but use all the butter. Your thoughts? I have yet to post the photos and recipes but shall tonight. Perhaps you'll leave me a comment with your suggestion? Thanks! Ingrid Hello,

Works every time! And you don't have to worry about overheating the butter.

Warm butter could have also been the problem. I would say try again using cooler butter, and only a few tablespoons (at most) of strawberry puree. For an added strawberry kick, you layer diced strawberries into the center of the cake you're frosting, or sliced strawberries on top of cupcakes. Thanks for reading!

I have a feeling it might be that the butter was too warm plus it is warmer outside. I do have a question though..Could it also be too much liquid that can cause the separation? Just wondering if I may have added too much of the strawberry pureed juice. thanks. love your blog by the way!!
