Normally I whip up some cream at home for cake icing … I whip the whole cream and then use it little my little to add coloring …
I use wilton gel colors … I have noticed the cream is smooth and soft when its white and as soon as I start mixing color in the cream it becomes thick and buttery … When I mix colors I dont do the whipping action , I just mix it slowkly with a spoon …
Why does that happen?
Re: Whipping cream issues ..
Even though you are not whipping it when you mix the colour I guess more air still gets added. Try adding colour a little earlier so it doesn't get over whipped. Although, if you are folding in the colour it really shouldn't be becoming buttery.

Re: Whipping cream issues ..
Why don't you try adding the colour to the whipping cream before you start whipping it? It might even be a little easier to incorporate the colour in it than doing so afterwards.

saks , I keep the cream white while whipping it , coz then later on it can become really difficult to whip up tiny bits of cream in each color i want to use .. normally its like whipping the whole lot i need .. and then add colors as required ...
