Strawberry Roll Cake

Don’t have the time to make fresh strawberry frosting? Here are several alternatives.
Classic buttercream frosting: Use a classic buttercream frosting recipe.
Cream cheese frosting: Skip the strawberry flavor and opt to make a classic cream cheese frosting. Use the same recipe. Skip the strawberries, and use less powdered sugar.
Replicating strawberry flavor and/or pink color: To achieve a delicious strawberry flavor, use a little strawberry extract in a basic frosting recipe. To tint the frosting pink, use couple drops of red food coloring
Use strawberry preserves in place of making your own: Use 1/4 cup strawberry preserves in place of making your own strawberry puree.
Buy frosting: Buy a can of strawberry frosting, or another kind like cream cheese frosting, or vanilla frosting. This is super handy when you need the cake for a same day event.
