Super science - making butter

Making butter re-visited.  What if...
we added colour to the cream?
Left out the marble?
Tried blue top milk instead of cream?

We tried our experiment again and investigated the ideas above.

We discovered our red butter was the same - just the colour made it look different. 

We could not find a difference for cream shaken with a marble and cream shaken without.  We thought the cream shaken with a marble would mix quicker but it didn't. 
The milk did not turn into butter.  We think it's because there were not enough fat molecules to smash together.
