Wednesday, December 21, 2005 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!" posted on 12/21/2005 :: link ............................................................................................ 23 Comments: your little song is very cute -- mmmm butter. and congratulations on winning the best design. By  maryse, at 21/12/05 3:32 PM I think I know where you got that because I got one too. Yay for butter trees! By  lilachica, at 21/12/05 4:11 PM I 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. Amy By  vintage lilac, at 21/12/05 5:27 PM oh gracious she has a butter song...lol. I tried the where to buy on that site and they aren't any near me...i might have to try making my own By  KnittyMomma, at 21/12/05 6:20 PM I have never seen anything like that in my life. Very neat! By  Susie, at 21/12/05 6:31 PM HIya! New reader here... I have never sen such a thing as a prepacked butter sculpture! Or the candy shot-glasses in a previous post! They're brilliant! I want some! LOL Those would be such great conversation pieces for a table. (I'm really into all things entertaining, hehe) By  CanadianErin, at 21/12/05 6:38 PM cute tune. congratulations on winning the weblog award. By  Grace, at 21/12/05 6:39 PM What I really want to know is how you went about getting the butter. Did you take it from the top of the tree down? Did you try to gouge out the ornaments? Cute song! By  LadyGypsy, at 21/12/05 6:47 PM The butter sculptures are one of my favorite things at the Minnesota State Fair. By  Sharkey, at 21/12/05 9:44 PM Saw 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!!! By  Ashley, at 21/12/05 10:39 PM I've been having a hard time finding them downstate so I have been trying to make my own. By  foodiechickie, at 22/12/05 8:44 AM I worked at Keller's Inc, a fire detection engineering company. We got calls constantly for Keller's butter. By  Anonymous, at 22/12/05 8:44 AM that is too cute. I'd love a butter penguin. By  Rachel, at 22/12/05 9:26 AM I bought the turkey butter sculpture from them at Thanksgiving. I thought it was a Minnesota thing but apparently not By  Anonymous, at 22/12/05 12:00 PM Now that is awesome! By  Amanda, at 22/12/05 12:29 PM Jenny, Andrea at superhero.com linked to cute overload yesterday and I thought if you didn't know about it already then you should!! It's 1,000% ljc!! merry Christmas (I LOVED the 12/21 photo the most!) http://www.cuteoverload.com/ By  Anonymous, at 22/12/05 1:22 PM Cute cute cute! Our grocery store carries a butter lamb sculpture at Easter time. By  Anonymous, at 23/12/05 12:11 PM I've seen a turkey one at Trader Joes at Thanksgiving..too cute! I love butter too, butter is gold. By  Michele, at 23/12/05 1:37 PM i grew up in iowa, and always drooled seeing the giant butter cow....it was so much bigger than me.... http://miva.dmregister.com/miva/cgi-bin/miva?gallery/buttergallery.mv+direction=display&display=4&gall=Butter_sculpture By  holly, at 23/12/05 2:47 PM LOL! Fabulous! By  Heather, at 25/12/05 5:06 PM I have the same butter tree in my fridge... We also had their butter turkeys for Thanksgiving... they are sooo much fun! By  Shannon, at 27/12/05 12:59 PM No 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. By  Anonymous, at 28/12/05 10:20 AM When I was little, we'd always get a butter lamb for Easter. I've only just this year since the Butter Tree - too cute. By  Elaine, at 5/1/06 9:46 PM Post a Comment ...............................................................................
