I've had some success with the White Chocolate Cream Cheese Frosting from the Cake Mix Dr. You might try that.

Here's the recipe:

6 oz. white chocolate, coarsely chopped
8 oz. cream cheese, at room temperature
4 T. butter, at room temperature
1 t. vanilla
3 c. powdered sugar, sifted

Melt chocolate. Set aside to cool.

Beat cream cheese and butter until smooth. Add chocolate, blending just until combined. Add vanilla and all but 1/2 c. powdered sugar, mixing just until incorporated. Add enough of the remaining powdered sugar to make a spreadable consistency. Beat until fluffy.

Yum!

NOTE: t = teaspoon; T = Tablespoon; c = cup

Also, I have used this recipe with as much as 4 oz. additional chocolate added in. I believe that it's the chocolate that helps it set up better for decorating. I have one Client, a young man who is about 3 years older than my middle daughter, and this is the ONLY icing recipe he will allow me to use on his cakes, no matter what the flavor. From the first time he tasted it, it has been his favorite and there is no convincing him that anything else is tasty!!!

Good luck with it!
