Welcome to CC!

Americolor makes an ivory that works great and it wouldn't take much to acheive a nice ivory color.

Yes this ivory is good for a cream hue.

When I am making buttercream and I want it to be cream colored, I use butter flavored crisco and vanilla extract that is not clear. I think it is a nice, rich color.

I use the cheap, brown vanilla instead of clear vanilla.

Yes I do the same as indybi!! HTH

Make your buttercream with all butter and use real vanilla.

i also use the cheap, brown vanilla and usually regular yellow margerine... makes a nice cream/ivory color.

I use regular vanilla instead of clear when I want cream icing. That way when I'm doing a huge cake with lots of icing my icing is all the same color.

I use a tiny bit of Americolor ivory.

Wow! That was easy!

Thanks for all the suggestions......will try the butter crisco with brown vanilla.

Great site......You guys are the best!

Have a Great Cake Day!
