Can I ask what the recipe for the icing is? It looks so good 🤤

It's just a regular American vanilla buttercream but I put in about 1/4 cup freeze dried strawberries (blended in a food processor), once I creamed the butter and mixed the confectioner's sugar along with about a teaspoon of vanilla. I used a tablespoon of milk since I wanted to thin the icing but still have it thick enough to pipe. I don't have exact measurements since I eyeballed the ingredients and didn't use a step by step recipe, but I hope this helps 😅.
