🧂 Ingredients

1 cup butter

(softened, at room temperature)
¼ cup maraschino cherry juice

(*see notes for alternatives)
4 cups confectioners' sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 pinch salt

(optional)
8 maraschino cherries

(chopped)

Instructions

1 In a large mixing bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer combine the softened
butter and maraschino cherry juice. *These will look like they not going to
combine at first, keep mixing 3-4 minutes at medium speed.
2 Scrape down the sides and bottom of your mixing bowl and add a portion of the
confectioners' sugar, cornstarch, and salt (if you are using). Mix on low until
combined, and continue adding the confectioners' sugar until fully incorporated.
3 Once the confectioners' sugar is fully combined increase the mixer speed to
medium or medium-high and whip the frosting for an additional 2-3 minutes until
light and fluffy.
4 Fold the chopped maraschino cherries into the frosting until evenly distributed
then spread or pipe onto your cooled cake or cupcakes.
