We had frozen blueberries
and frozen cherries
so I thought "Great, I'll get pink and purple frosting." Since I didn't want the frosting to actually taste like cherries or blueberries as it turns out that even I have some food weirdness limits (who knew?), I defrosted them and smashed some of the juice out
