Does anyone have any suggestions for getting a caramel buttercream to be white? I want to do a hockey cake for my fiance's birthday but want to use caramel buttercream as caramel is his favorite. I just can't figure out how to get it to be white so I can ice the "rink." Thanks.

you could use a reg buttercream recipe and add caramel flavor (Lorann oils).

ooh I thought you said white chocolate caramel buttercream - that sounds sooo yummy! I think you could make the regular buttercream and add the Lorann flavoring to it.... or make white chocolate & add the flavoring of caramel! I don't think you could make a cooked caramel icing white though......

1/4 c. + 2 T. Water (Warm)
1 tsp. Vanilla flavor
1 tsp. Butter flavor
1/4 c. Powdered vanilla coffee creamer

2 c. Shortening
2 lb. Powdered Sugar

Mix the first 4 ingredients so the creamer disolves. Add shortening and 1/2 the powdered sugar. Cream until smooth then add remaining powdered sugar.

You can also add the vanilla caramel coffeemate liquid to your BC as only PART of the milk/water needed. It's FAB!!!

SweetArt: do you normally do almost equal parts of the powdered coffee creamer to water in the buttercream recipes? I was just wonder if I would do that with my recipe, which I think calls for 1/2 cup water.

I just found that is how much I needed to get a good flavor for a 6 c. recipe.
