Can you use margarine instead of butter in cream cheese frosting?
The butter in buttercreme icing is just used as a flavor additive. I would be careful using margarine that may have a different taste. I would advise using a butter-flavored margarine if you decide to make the substitution.
Do you prefer your butter spread or sprayed?
It depends on what I'm using it on ( but mostly sprayed)
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using butter and shortening in butter cream icing?
Vegetable shortening, being pure lipid (fat), does not have an aqueous component, nor does it have any nutrients other than fat. Butter has a small amount of water and some milk solids in addition to the butterfat. These components, though small, contribute to the texture and mouthfeel of the finished product. Shortening will work, but you may not be happy with the result: it will be greasier and leave a waxy residue in your mouth. If you do choose to use butter in a buttercream icing, may I suggest using unsalted butter. Butter manufacturers sometimes use salt to disguise a slightly lower-quality cream used as the starting product; unsalted butter likely started with a better-quality cream. Also, the amount of salt may vary from batch to batch of butter, yielding unpredictable results from batch to batch of icing. (Plus, salt is not always desirable in a sweet finished product such as icing.) Occasionally, a recipe calling for unsalted butter also calls for a small amount of salt. You may wonder, why not just use salted butter? The reason is that with unsalted butter, you are able to control the amount of salt in the recipe, since as mentioned above, salt content varies from batch to batch of butter.
What do you mix to get white?
In cakes: if you want a buttercream frosting you usually end up with a pale yellow colour rather then white, there are white 'food dyes' you can add that will lighten the icing, they also use these when too much of a colour has been added, to lighten it back out. There are also recipes for making icing using coconut lard instead of butter, or just use icing sugar with a few teaspoons of boiling water! Hey presto! White icing! :) If you mean painting: you cannot mix any colours to make white, you can only use white.

How are decomposers involved in making butter?
Decomposers are not involved in making butter from cream/milk. However decomposers are involved in breaking down the grass that a cow eats. Cows can not digest grass/cellulose and to get the nutrients out of grass, the cow has 4 stomachs in which it ferments the grass using decomposers. It is the bodies of these decomposers that are actually the food for the cow and it is this food that goes into making the milk and cream from which butter is made.
