When I was a kid, I used to go to the Farm Show and oogle the giant butter sculpture. For this year's Holiday Party I got a butter tree mini butter sculpture. My friends laughed because they all know my affinity for butter.
When I look at butter tree I can't help but sing to myself "Oh butter tree, oh butter tree, so creamy and de-li-cious. You grace our rolls, you smear on toast. Muffins with jam, I like the most. Oh butter tree, oh butter tree, so creamy and de-li-cious!"
your little song is very cute -- mmmm butter.
ReplyDeleteand congratulations on winning the best design.
I think I know where you got that because I got one too. Yay for butter trees!
ReplyDeleteI worked for a caterer in college and I had to spend a lot of time mashing softened butter into plastic candy molds, freezing them, then popping out mini butter "sculptures" on individual bread plates. My favorites were the ones that looked like tiny presents.

cute tune. congratulations on winning the weblog award.
ReplyDeleteWhat I really want to know is how you went about getting the butter.
ReplyDeleteDid you take it from the top of the tree down? Did you try to gouge out the ornaments?
Cute song!
The butter sculptures are one of my favorite things at the Minnesota State Fair.
ReplyDeleteSaw that you are reading Secret Life Of Bee's....it was one of the best books I have ever read. You will not be about to put it down!!!
ReplyDeleteI worked at Keller's Inc, a fire detection engineering company. We got calls constantly for Keller's butter.
ReplyDeleteI've been having a hard time finding them downstate so I have been trying to make my own.
ReplyDeletethat is too cute. I'd love a butter penguin.
ReplyDeleteI bought the turkey butter sculpture from them at Thanksgiving. I thought it was a Minnesota thing but apparently not

LOL! Fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI have the same butter tree in my fridge... We also had their butter turkeys for Thanksgiving... they are sooo much fun!
ReplyDeleteNo butter sculpture is complete without a song. Plus it's more fun than those poor girls, Princess Kay of the Milky Way at the State Fair. Poor girls sit in a freezer while their likeness is carved in butter.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was little, we'd always get a butter lamb for Easter. I've only just this year since the Butter Tree - too cute.
