1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup mashed fresh strawberries
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup mashed fresh strawberries

1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Beat white sugar and shortening together until light and fluffy.
