Review Body: I made this for my sons birthday cake today. It is absolutely delicious! My favorite buttercream yet. I used Garedehelli white chocolate chips and it was the perfect texture for piping. Thanks for the amazing recipe!

Review Body: I just made this as-is and absolutely loved it! Put it on a flourless chocolate cake and topped with raspberries. I thinned with a splash of milk to give the consistency I wanted - so plenty thick. I did give the melted chocolate plenty of time to cool and made sure my butter was just soft enough to beat. I think it's important to know if the recipe you're using has been created/tested with "real" white chocolate or white baking chips (which are not chocolate and usually have no cocoa butter). They can behave differently in recipes. I used "real" white chocolate (because the flavor!), and it's probably my favorite buttercream ever.

Review Body: This frosting was disgusting. It was too sweet for my taste, the flavor was terrible, and it smelled rancid. I don't really understand how this recipe has so many positive reviews. However, I added about 1-2 tbsp of lemon juice. The sweetness, the flavor, and the scent improved IMMENSELY and it became very delicious. Don't worry, it didn't make it taste like lemons Tip: I used this for a 9 inch cake and I needed to make an extra batch.

Review Body: Like others, this came out very runny. I need to figure out how to fix it. I'll try more sugar. Disappointing. I love Grace's recipes and have never had a problem with them in the past.

Review Body: This powdered sugar amount was odd considering the amount of butter. I "slightly cooled" the white chocolate but seemed pretty runny so I added about 1 cup more powdered sugar and it seemed to smooth better and looks more like a frosting that you can decorate with. Maybe I didnt let the chocolate cool long enough?
