Happy 2013 to all!!! Hope each and every one of you had a lovely break and was able to spend quality time with loved ones whether it was going away on vacation or simply staying at home and enjoying good company.

White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting

The best part of any cupcake is definitely the frosting and there are just so many options and variations, from melted chocolate to traditional buttercream icing. To give the traditional frosting a bit of a twist I decided to try the White Chocolate Buttercream frosting, and here’s how I did it…

Ingredients:

125g butter

4 cups icing sugar

3 tbs milk

100g white chocolate (I used Cadbury Dream)

Method:

1. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave (remember to keep monitoring and stirring). Set aside.

2. Cream the butter with an electric mixer until soft.

3. Gradually add two cups of icing sugar and the milk, and mix until combined.

4. Add the rest of the icing sugar and mix thoroughly.

5. Lastly, stir in the white chocolate.

NB: Add more milk if the icing is too thick.
