Enjoy!!

I made IMBC the other day and tinted it pink and it took the color well and was a dream to use for writing!

Hi Lenette!!!!

The link above will take you to the recipe variations I came up with using Sarah's Ultimate Butter Cake. They are so yummy!! Thanks for posting dodibug!

I colored my IMBC with mint green americolor soft gel paste. I use only americolor and it works great! I am normally not a fan of the Lorann oils, but I put 3 drops or so of the Egg Nog flavored one in the IMBC, and it was DELICIOUS!!

For the filling I was making some white chocolate regular bc but decided to use egg nog instead of the milk. I add a bit less powdered sugar so it would be softer and made it a filling instead. It was yummy too!!

Let me know if I can help any more!

Berta

Thanks to both of you!

Hi dodibug,

I bought a ton of the opils before trying them because every1 raves about them, but I never really liked them. The egg nog one is good, and you are right in the IMBC the flavor is better. That is the only thing I use them in, and only certain flavors. I made the IMBC from WBH and added 3 drops and got a nice light egg nog taste. How much you add will depend on your taste buds! Let me know what flavors you try out!

Berta,
How would you describe this butter cake? The pic of it on her site has such looks like Jiffy cornbread. Is the cake light or something you would use for a carved cake? TIA

ok, I'm going to ask a really dumb question, because my brain is not working today, but what is IMBC? I know the BC is buttercream, but I'm drawing a blank on the IM part.

Hey TonyasCakes,

The IM is italian merangue (sp).

Oh yeah!!! I remember that now!! Senior moment, THANKS jekizer!!

The buttercake is very dense and moist. Nothing like cornbread at all. More like a poundcake, but maybe not quite as dense. I have never carved with it.

HTH,
Berta

Thanks! I will try it another time. I need a fluffier cake for my dd's bday. I saw your different variations. They sound delicious.

That is completely understandable... happens to me all the time..
