Hi does anybody know if you can substitute butter with Blue Bonnet spread. I had been told you could. But I wonder if it makes a difference in the texture and flavor of the cake 
. I was also looking for link for making flowers out of fondant , does anybody happen to know?
Thanks in advance 
Depending upon the recipe, you can substitute margarine for butter. Personally, I would not use spread, as it contains water. Calorie for calorie, butter and margarine have the same fat content, which is why it is added. Spread does not have the same fat content.

Personally, I ONLY use real butter when I bake with one exception. I use Parkay to make the Tollhouse Chocolate Chip Cookies. I don't know why, but they're better that way. With cakes and frostings, margarine just doesnt' taste as good and the texture is weird.
I'm also picky about using only real vanilla and other extracts. I think that it makes a real difference in taste.
I certainly wouldn't. There is so much difference in the different brands of margarine. I do use butter in cookies and substitute margarine but never have in a cake.

I use blue bonnet when I do cookies. I like the taste a little better then using butter.

Do you use the margarine or the spread? There is a difference between the two, and the author specifically mentioned the spread, not the margarine.
But I do agree about the Blue Bonnet margarine having a good taste. Back in the very poor days, that was all I used to bake with.
