- Now you can make your frosting
- To melt your white chocolate, break pieces into a heat proof bowl and place bowl over a pan of hot simmering water
- Make sure the water does not touch the bottom of the bowl
- Give a little stir every now and then until it’s all melted
- Beat the butter and icing sugar together until light and fluffy
