I love cherry buttercream frosting! I love it on soft sugar cookies paired with cinnamon red hots candies on Valentine’s Day. I love it on warm chocolate almond cake with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I love it on vanilla cupcakes with super cute toppers for all sorts of occasions! Cherry compliments so many other flavors and the color pink is just fun! Here is a fast and easy but truly delicious recipe for pink maraschino cherry buttercream frosting!
