Butter sculpting is a strange phenomenon. Yet even more strange is the compulsion its artisans exhibit to continually create effigies of cows as some sort of symbolic testimony to their origins.
There’s a woman who goes by the name of the ‘butter cow lady’. Norma Lyon earned this title by building life sized sculptures of cows out of dairy butter. This insane woman even created a butter version of Da Vinci’s ‘The Last Supper’!
B Green has written a book entitled ‘the Butter Cow Lady’ complete with colour photographs of her numerous intricate works. The book and a five minute film of the butter cow lady in action is available from the website. http://www.thebuttercowlady.com/
But did you realise that making sculptures of cows out of butter isn’t even that rare? The American sculptor Jim Victor also avidly creates cows from butter. On his website you can see that he has a range of diverse talents but the cow is a recurring theme. This is manifest as a little bow milks a cow, a jersey cow is fashioned from butter and chocolate and a mad cow rides a motorcycle.

Junk Food Blog reports that yet another, Sharon BuMann and her son George BuMann created this butter sculpture of a cow slipping on ice. One of the country’s largest butter sculptures it weighed a sickening 1000 pounds. The sculpture was created for public display in order to get the American public excited about cooking with real butter again post margarine health craze.
