And for a little naughty.......

My coworker's birthday was coming up and I had asked her what kind of cupcakes she wanted, she said "white chocolate"...hmmm well being new to the cup cake world with no recipes for white chocolate cupcakes I wondered how in the heck I was going to pull this one off. I googled whit chocolate icing and ran across a blog. I pulled this frosting recipe off  www.dianasdesserts.com and didn't change one thing about it..was a huge hit at work.

Cake:

1 box of betty crocker dutch chocolate cake mix, made according to directions
stir in 1/2 bag ghirardelli white chocolate chips into the batter

Icing: 

Ingredients:
4 1/2 ounces white chocolate, finely chopped
1 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick/3 oz./85g) unsalted butter, softened
Pinch of salt
Instructions:
1. Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler. Stir until smooth. Let cool to room temperature.

2. Sift the confectioners' sugar into a medium bowl. Stir in the milk and vanilla. Add the butter and salt and beat until smooth. Stir in the cooled white chocolate. Refrigerate until firm enough to frost the cupcakes, about 30 minutes.

Makes enough to frost 12 cupcakes.( I doubled the recipe and made 24 cupcakes)

For decoration on time I put 1/2 of a Oreo round on top

Side note:
Frosting is very fragile to temperature. I refrigerated over night and let frosting soften a bit before serving them.
