1. Reducing the strawberries

The first thing we have to do before making the buttercream is to reduce the strawberries in a pan to a beautiful puree in order to remove the water contents, meaning the buttercream won’t split!

    Hi Paul,
    This cake looks truly scrumptious. Can frozen blueberries, cherries, blackberries and mangoes be interchanged for strawberries?
    Thanks

      Hello CinTamaNis, Thank you I’m glad you like it. Yes you can use frozen fruit just be careful with the mangoes as they do hold a lot of jucie. I’d only use a little mango but the rest is all great. Thanks, Paul
