First off, I discovered this site a few days ago and I love it! I am planning on signing up for a Wilton class soon. My mom showed me some basic cake decorating stuff when I was little but I'm not very experienced.

As for my question; I'm throwing a bachelorette party for my friend at my house and found a recipe I'd like to use. It's a white chocolate cake, layered with white chocolate mousse and fresh strawberries. The recipe calls for just whipped cream as frosting, but I just don't want to do whipped cream. Will just plain whipped cream even hold up very long?

I found a white chocolate buttercream recipe on this site that sounds good, but do you think it would be white chocolate overload? If so is there anything else you would suggest?

If you add at least 8 oz of cream cheese to your recipe, it will cut back on the sweetness, and it will taste really good.

I made a white chocolate raspberry cake and it was delicious.....the frosting was a white chocolate and raspberry cream cheese frosting....basically a cream cheese frosting recipe with raspberry extract and 6oz. of melted white chocolate...it was absolutely delicious....maybe you could do this with the strawberry...either add strawberry extract to the cream cheese frosting or omit it...I'm sure the cream cheese frosting would be awesome with the white chocolate though....great flavor combo. Good Luck

There is a recipe here on the site called "stabilized whipped cream" and there are other wonderful recipes too. Here's one called "fluffy bakeshop icing" http://cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-1606-Fluffly-Bakshop-Icing-Buttecream.html

I would do a white chocolate cake layered with a strawberry mousse with fresh strawberries added to the mousse and then iced with the white chocolate buttercream
