Recipe Review: White Chocolate Frosting

Quite by accident, I stumbled upon The Sweet Tooth Fairy cupcake bakery in Draper, Utah about four years ago.  I had the most delicious cupcakes!  Now I try to stop at The Sweet Tooth Fairy whenever we're in Utah to visit my in-laws (sadly their Southlake, Texas location closed).

The owner is a Cupcake Wars winner and was kind enough to share her black & white cupcake recipe with the world.

I tried making the dark chocolate cupcakes and they didn't turn out as well as I'd hoped.

But the white chocolate cream cheese frosting was AMAZING.  It is my go-to frosting recipe.  I just need to be sure I have lots and lots of white chocolate on hand!

I once heard Alton Brown (my hero -- all that science and all that food!) say that he approves of cake mixes but he believes in making homemade frosting.  I agree.  I like to make a chocolate fudge cake mix and stir in 1 cup of mini chocolate chips.  Then I top it with the amazing white chocolate cream cheese frosting.

Here is the amazing frosting at my son's birthday party.  I recommend chilling it slightly before piping it.
