Caramelized white chocolate frosting gives cupcakes a deeper, toasty sweetness that feels richer than plain buttercream without turning heavy. With careful caramelization, it pipes smoothly, pairs well with many cake flavors, and stores well for later use.
Essential Concepts: Gentle caramelization only; use real white chocolate; cool before mixing; add salt for balance; pipeable and stable.
