Hi! Same happened to me but I added just a Tiny amount of blueberry extract, to help bring out the flavor. I want to say maybe it’s the blueberries, mine were a little sour but after the extract it was perfect!

Hi Danielle! You discard what’s in the strainer and use the liquid — it should be quite thick though — like a jelly.

When you strain the blueberries, do you use the liquid in the frosting, or do you use the meat of the blueberries that is still in the strainer?

Hi Milena! Yes, it would work fine with strawberries too 🙂

I’m so excited to try this! I love your page! Would I be able to follow the same recipe but use strawberries instead of blueberries?

I’m sorry to hear that Jen! It’s definitely not an overpowering blueberry flavour, but it should be there. You can try increasing the amount of blueberry syrup or decreasing the sugar/vanilla to help the blueberry stand out.

I tried making this and followed all the steps to your vanilla buttercream to be disappointed that the blueberry buttercream ended up as simply just as vanilla buttercream with a change of color. I don’t know maybe I did it wrong…but the taste of vanilla buttercream after putting in the blueberry sauce taste exactly the same honestly.

It was really good with the lemon cupcakes! I’ve been guilty of chucking stuff out too, it happens sometimes, but I’m happy when I can find a use for everything :).

This blueberry buttercream looks so pretty and I can imagine tastes divine!

Thanks Chrisy! I’m confident yours would look just as amazing! Truthfully I scraped the first pass on the frosting off the cupcakes, so this is take #2 :).
