You may be wondering how I achieved such a delicious looking color or think I had to use a lot of food coloring. NOPE! No food coloring. I’ve discovered a new way of making my frosting, and that’s by using freeze dried fruit! Not to be confused with dried fruit. Here’s what I did…..Simply pour the freeze dried fruit in a blender and blend until the fruit is in powder form.
Since blueberries have a mild flavor I felt the frosting needed another blueberry boost. That came in the form of blueberry flavor. I used LorAnn. They have an amazing selection of flavors and oils. You can order your bottle here—->>>>BLUEBERRY FLAVOR
