Can I Use LorAnn Oils to Flavor Butter Cream?

I answered this question in another post. But it seems to be a questions that keeps popping up. The answer is yes. You can use LorAnn Flavoring Oils to add a kick to your regular butter-cream frosting. Here’s how:

It depends on how much butter-cream you’ve made, but you can usually add 1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon of flavor to it. It all depends on intensity of flavor. If you want more, add more flavor. It you only want a slight flavor, add less than 1/4 teaspoon, that way you can add more as needed.

Here’s a good butter-cream recipe from LorAnn Oils:
