What color do you want? If you're looking for pink/red for Valentine's Day, I'd use raspberry puree, passed through a fine sieve.

We freeze strawberries and sugar every year and I took the juice leftover and poured it into my frosting this morning. It came out areally delicate pink but in years past I have smashed frozed rasperries and thrown them into the frosting and the white cake. It takes to make it more purple than redish though.
