drcara Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Dear all, would be very grateful for any knowledge. I have to make some ivory butter cream cup cakes, for the frosting to be as ivory as possible I need to find some very pale butter (palest yellow the better). Does anyone know a brand that is paler than others or have any other recipes; I think I'll go down the cream cheese route, but the bride wants buttercream!! Help...Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Chick Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 could you do half butter/half cream cheese? An alternative is getting superwhite powder.... http://www.windsorcakecraft.co.uk/www.windsorcakecraft.co.uk/info.php?p=0&first=1&search=super+white&send.x=35&send.y=15&send=Search You can add a few teaspoons to the buttercream. I've never used it personally but its supposed to be good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Lurpak is the palest butter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 A scandinavian or French butter would be pale. Try one from Aldi or Lidl! Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 Lurpak is the palest butter. Ditto....and if you cream it really well it will become paler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Posted November 4, 2009 Share Posted November 4, 2009 I think Le President butter is very pale too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chook n Boo Mum Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Make your own from cream, that's pale, just add one small child to shake it til their arm falls off my DS took it as a personal challenge to convert a whole large container to butter by hand in a jar & was exhausted afterwards ............beyond that President as Christian has said is very pale Sha x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alis girls Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 just peel open all the packs in the supermarket and see which is the palest. What thats not allowed are you sure? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drcara Posted November 6, 2009 Author Share Posted November 6, 2009 Thanks for allyour help. I don't have a child, so them making butter is not an option! I'll have a look at president and lurpak and check out some butters from aldi, surreptitiously! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
