Does anyone have a tried and true yummy recipe for white chocolate buttercream, that crusts and is easy to decorate with? There's one here on CC but I'm not sure if it crusts. I have a customer who is insisting on white chocolate and raspberry mousse...yummy, but I need to know if it's gonna be good!
thanks.
Funny you should post this. I made a white almond sour cream cake and was thinking of using the white chocolate buttercream recipe here on CC with it but wasn't sure what others thought of it. I think it had a pretty good rating in the recipe section though. I will be trying it tonight (unless someone posts another irresistable recipe 
).

Okay I just got a reply from her and she doesn't remember if it crusts 
Hmmm I wonder if I can add meringue powder to make it crust? She did say though that you can use white chocolate with it 
So I guess try it at your own risk!
Here's the link for the recipe http://www.cakecentral.com/cake_recipe-2234-1-Chocolate-Buttercream-Dream.html.
That recipe calls for shortening, so it should crust just fine.
I created a white chocolate cream cheese icing last week that crusts for on of my clients. After reading a lot of recipes telling how to create chocolate buttercream, I just tweeked my regular cream cheese icing and put white chocolate into it. Everyone, but me, loved it. I still need to get the kinks worked out of it, so I am trying a better brand of chocolate.
Try putting putting in melted white chocolate into an icing that you like and see what happens. That is what I read that a lot of the "big name" cake artists do. They just make variations off of the icing recipe that they love.
I make the all crico b/c and the real butter b/c and just add 3 oz. of melted, cooled white chocolate after it is all mixed togther and "viola!" It crusts super well and is quite tight if you pop it in fridge for just a moment. Perfect surface for decorating on. And smooths wonderfully also.
