Hi Everyone,
I was just wondering, the recipe I always use for buttercream is the english version, just pure butter and icing sugar, is it possible to make this recipe white? because of the butter, it always comes out cream. Thanks for any help 
Hi, yes can use SUPERWHITE ICING WHITENER from Sugarflair, its a powder you add to the buttercream to turn it white.

To be honest the white gel colouring is rubbish, use Trex in place of your butter and it will definitly be white 
ooo! Thanks for the quick replies!
The ideas with the white food colouring sounds good,
@Davwattie - please tell me, what does the cream taste like made with trex instead of butter? its vegetable fat isn't it?
To be honest trex doesnt really taste of anything, I usually add vanilla essence(as clear as possible) but once its got all the icing sugar it is quite sweet anyway.
I use it loads with some cream cheese added as well for using on red velvet cakes and its very yummy!
I tried using the super white gel in and used loads and it didnt make enough difference for me so started using trex instead.
Hi,
Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll try them all! Thanks!
Not sure if this will help, but I remember hearing that if you add just a touch of violet to white icing it will counter the yellow tones.
Have not tried it myself though.

Hi, that sounds interesting! I think some experiments are in order! Thanks everyone!
Wow! Thanks for all your responses! I think I need the use of a science lab to try them all! 
Thanks guys!
