i am making individual beer mug cakes for my best friends 21st birthday this weekend and im wanting to pipe buttercream on the top of them to look like foam...but the buttercream i always make is pretty yellow...how do i make buttercream thats bright white? and if anyone knows..what would be the best tip to use to make it look like real beer foam?
when I did the clouds on my care bear cake I used a 12. it worked great. just keep the tip in the frosting and work it around to make the head. check out the care bear cake in my pic and you can maybe picture it as foam...

You will have to use at least a half crisco recipe and artificial clear vanilla. Better to use all crisco. You can also use some whitener or a TINY bit of violet (I think)
The violet trick works. Make your buttercream the same way you always do and as it is mixing just drag a toothpick with a bit of violet on it thru your icing to make it bright white. It works. Be careful you don't add too much violet though.
