i'm about to add the buttermilk to my red velvet and realized that it's fat free - ahhh!!! what do you think, use it or go out and buy some????

That did happened to me..Maybe I am bias but I thought it tasted better with the full fat..Maybe it was my imagination!..

ya, probably did. everything tastes better with fat!

was it bad with the other? would the average joe notice?? i'm making these for a wedding cupcake tasting tomorrow.

No, they would not notice at all. My red velvet is a favorite with many of my customer and I have made it with fat free and regular on several occassion and I can't even tell the difference, neither did they.

okay, so i just went to the store to get regular fat buttermilk and what do you know? they don't carry it anymore. the guys said that they didn't carry it with the major/regular milk brands in our area.

I have also heard of replacing a tablespoon or two of the buttermilk with full fat sour cream to add some of the fat back?
