Decorating By smashcakes Updated 12 Apr 2006 , 10:06pm by smashcakes
i'm making a wc buttercream and it isn't at all what i thought. it has cream cheese in it and it is sticky and very yellow. i used the cake mix doctor recipe. i don't want to use the one on this site due to the egg whites. anyone have any suggestions. can i just add some melted white chocolate to my regualr bc? thanks
There's a white base you can use to make the frosting white; I forget what it's called, but Michael's sells it. Also, I've seen some posts on here saying that you can add a very small dot of Americolor violet to your frosting to create white. Add a few tablespoons of meringue powder for every 4 cups of powered sugar that you used in the frosting; this will help it crust and take away the stickiness.
Hey smashcakes..... 
I'm not sure about the recipe...but I have this one for WC BC....I never have used it but I think it sounds like it would be yummy. I have a ton of recipes stored that I haven't had a chance to use. 
White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting
6 Oz White Chocolate; chopped
1/4 C Whipping Cream
1 C Butter; Cut In Pieces
1 C Powdered Sugar
Microwave white chocolate and cream in medium bowl on high for 1 1/2
minutes until chocolate
is almost melted, stirring halfway through heating time. Stir until white
chocolate is completely
melted. Cool to room temperature. Beat butter and sugar gradually into
cooled mixture on high
speed until light and fluffy.
If you decide to try it let me know how it turns out. I'm like you...I don't really want to use the ones with egg whites. So maybe this one will be a winner. 
HTH...hugs, ~Denise
thanks everyone. that one with whipping cream sounds good-i'll have to save that. i'm trying to salvage the stuff i have, so maybe i'll go buy the food whitener
