Ingredients For A Fabulous Life
raising the bar on life, one post at a time...
Despite having melted white chocolate added, this lovely buttercream can be tinted any color you like. For my Pink Grapefruit Chiffon Cake, I made my White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting, PINK!
I added some pink grapefruit zest to my tinted white chocolate buttercream frosting this time around. The zest added a fabulous citrusy freshness that made it the perfect complement to my Mother’s Day Luncheon cake.
Buttercream frosting isn’t incredibly hard to make, but there are a few tips to follow that will ensure success. And when you use white chocolate, it comes with its own set of rules!
Don’t worry, just make sure you read through the recipe before starting. Then follow my tips and you’ll have a glorious bowl of luscious white chocolate buttercream frosting when you’re finished!
A word of caution here, melted chocolate can be a little problematic if used at an improper temperature or added incorrectly. Here’s my tips to make it problem-free!
I know you’ll have a smashing success making your own White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. Just follow my tips from start to finish and you’ll have 6 CUPS of frosting for your favorite baked goods!
I’m sharing my Pink Grapefruit Chiffon Cake recipe so you can duplicate the fabulous cake you see at the top of this post. It’s one of two desserts featured in my “French-Themed” Mother’s Day Luncheon.
I finished the cake off with some delightful sugar flowers and leaves I purchased on Amazon last year. They last forever if kept in a dry, dark and cool location.
It turned out so lovely with three luscious layers, just aching for some PINK White Chocolate Buttercream Frosting. Depending on the size of cake pan you use, you’ll have 2 or 3 layers, so you will need all 6 cups of frosting for this cake.
Now, for the second Mother’s Day Luncheon dessert, I knew any gaggle of women would be looking around, waiting for the chocolate to appear! So as not to disappoint, I’ve also included a lovely Chocolate Grand Marnier Pots de Crème on the menu.
It’s densely chocolate, with a hint of citrus that gives it a new level of sophistication. In keeping with the party’s pink color-scheme, and the pink grapefruit cake, I garnished them with Candied Pink Grapefruit slices. They are amazingly addictive, so be careful to save enough for your presentation!
I finished the Chocolate Grand Marnier Pots de Crème with a dollop of sweetened whipped cream and fresh mint. Don’t they look lovely? And they taste even better!
