ok so my question it this... has anyone ever mad a cherrie scented frosting that stays white? i am makeing a cake for a guy friends birthday party and the frosting i have been told CANNOT BE PINK. lol but he would like to have a slightly cherrie flavored frosting with a chocolate filling. would this be possible if i just used a cherrie extract in a vannila or buttercream frosting?

I think cherry flavoring would still be slightly pink. Yes, it can be used in b'cream icing
How about LorAnn candy flavoring? It's very, very strong and would only need a drop to flavor a full batch of icing lightly.
Not sure if Michael's carries it but I know Hobby Lobby does.

awsome thank u so much for the tip it is much appreciated!

Is he actually wanting the BC to be white? As much as I love choc.covered cherries at Christmas time I am thinking you could do a chocolate BC and add the cherry flavoring to the that since he mentioned chocolate filling.

Lorann cherry is red and will color the frosting. I like the idea of chocolate cherry frosting.

Real organic cherry extract is brown, just like all the red fruits.

Kirschwasser is clear.

thank you nall so much this has truly been helpfull! the cakes do have to be white tho all except one tier on one cake that actually can be red, its going to be painted with paisly like on a hanky. i will fiddle around with these idias and see what works. and let you know thank u so much!

Almond and cherry are very close flavors and almond extract is clear - can you use that?
