Good morning, everyone. I just ran out of Butavan 
I was purchasing it from Sugarcraft but I just discovered that they no longer sell it. I knew that I needed some but hesitated because of the high cost of shipping at Sugarcraft and now it's too late. Anyway, I now find myself without any and several cakes to make on the 13th. Does anyone out there know of a place that I can order the Butavan from that's not extremely outrageous on their shipping? I really love this stuff but can't find it anywhere locally. I have come across something called Butter Vanilla put out by Magic Line. Is anyone familiar with this product? Thanks so much for your help!!!
Okay, I did the search for you. They have it here.

OH, of course, why didn't I think of Earlene's? I've never ordered from there but I've heard only good things about her. Thank you so very much for your help. I appreciate it more than you know.
I have ordered from Earlenes's before and she is wonderful. But...what does Butavan do for cakes exactly....if the difference in taste that noticable?
Yes, in my opinion, it makes the cakes wonderful. Butavan is a thick, creamy butter/vanilla emulsion and it gives it a wonderfully rich flavor. I gave it a try one day and everyone noticed a difference in my cake and told me that whatever it was that I had used to keep using it. Now I am asked each time that someone wants a cake to make sure that I use the Butavan in it. I also use it in my icing as well. Gives it a really nice, rich flavor. If you can get some, you really should give it a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I just wish that I had purchased more when I last ordered at Sugarcraft
just to confirm the earlier post...The company that make sthe Butavan tha Earlene and Sugarcraft were selling is going out of business. I called them directly to see if the product had nuts in it or not (it does not), and they told me they were going out of business.
I bought a butter-vanilla flavor from Here

And I really liek their Lemon Emulsion.
FYI, the reason the elumsions leave more flavor is because they do not flashoff (cook away) during baking. So when you use an extract a large percentage of it gets cooked away. I notice a great difference in the lemon cookies, they taste as if they have fresh lemon in them.
Hope that helps,
Julia
YIKES - going out of business! Better stock up! I bought mine from Earlene (and here I thought it was her own creation!) and have LOVED dealing with her.
