Butterball Farms sculpted banquet butter and butter roses Have a black-tie ball, fairy tale wedding, or other banquet with Butterball ® Butter Premium Balls® and Butterball® Butter POP-OUT® Roses. Robert Leclerc, executive chef, Radisson Miami Downtown, Miami, says Butterball butter makes his professional life easier and also helps him achieve the image he wants to convey.

"Butterball® butter makes my life easier. The butter comes in a tub, which is more practical," Leclerc says. "Because it keeps in the freezer, it is faster and more efficient banquet butter for my waitstaff to set up (on bread-and-butter plates) and is just soft enough when guests arrive."

According to Leclerc, Butterball® butter is a better value than cut butter or wrapped butter, which also doesn't convey the sculpted butter image he says he wants to achieve.

For weddings, depending on the per-person plate cost, Leclerc uses either Butterball® Butter Premium Balls® or Butterball® Butter POP-OUT® Roses. To help set the mood for a June wedding, he placed edible flowers and a basil leave in the middle of a bread-and-butter plate, adding a Butterball® Butter POP-OUT® Rose on each side. --SBH
