    White Buttercream
    Hello!

    I've got a fantastic recipe for cupcakes that I want to use instead of wedding cake at my upcoming wedding. The icing is made of buttercream (Butter, Icing/Confectioner's sugar, and vanilla essence) and you add food colouring. The problem is that I'd really like to match the cupcakes with my colour scheme and I thought it'd look great if they had white cream and green sprinkles. The question is, how do I make white buttercream? If I don't add any food colouring to the normal buttercream it stays an off-white yellowy colour (funnily enough, the colour of butter! ). Is there a special white butter I can use? I'm guessing there's no such thing as white food colouring! ;)

    Thanks in advance!

    Your best bet would be to maybe ask a bakery in your town... I had buttercream frosting on our wedding cake, and it was bright white with yellow and white daisys all over it... somehow they made it white. I would ask the experts! Good luck!

    Thanks for that! I'm going to try and pop into a bakery next week - at least I know it's possible now! :D
