How do you make butter cream white like on cake boss when he dirty ices it?

use crisco and clear vanilla.

OR if you prefer an all butter icing, use Wilton's White-White to remove the slightly yellow color. It's a food safe titanium dioxide that will whiten the icing. Just squirt it in, mix and assess.

OR if you prefer a butter and shortening mix, whip those two ingredients together for quite a while before adding the rest of the recipe. It will turn the butter white (and then proceed with the clear vanilla.)

I believe organic butter tends to be paler than standard butter. A touch of violet food dye apparently can help to.
If I use butter and brown vanilla, it looks pretty White, as long as it's not on a White table cloth or with White ribbon!

I use Land o Lakes butter, crisco and clear vanilla - white as snow everytime.

what is crisco? i know its a Vegetable Shortening but iv not seen that in the UK.... is it just the same as lard but with veg ?

thanks chasey

I got some trex last night, it was in my local shop down the road lol all this time I havent seen it as well.... oh well. so do I just use the trex instead of butter?

Yep. Just use the Trex/Crisco in the same amount you'd use for butter, or do some portion butter and some portion Trex/Crisco that adds up to the total amount of butter the recipe calls for. Then proceed with the rest of the recipe.

thanks im gunna try it for my sons birthday cake

i think the trex does say to use 10% less than butter. not that it really matters, u can change the consistency by adding liquid or icing sugar.
(also, think about putting ur location in your profile - if i had seen you were in the uk i would have said trex off the bat)
