a few questions...re freezing baked goods and the odious white chocolate haha
so, I am wondering, have you ever prebaked a cake or cupcakes and frozen them with taste and textural success once defrosted and served?
dh is take luce out for a few hours this weekend (go REDBULL) and I want to really maximize this time...but if it will taste like ish I won't do it.
also, white "chocolate". I hate it BUT I realize other people like it. so I was thinking....can you make a ganache of sorts out of white choclate?
it would be easier for me to color and ice with a ganache (much smoother finish) so I am hoping this is possible.
and please recommend any white choco brand OTHER than those wafers from craft stores. I can't stand the taste of them. how is ghiradelli?

I have tried a few times to make a white chocolate ganache and have had no success at all. For some reason it comes out to thin. This was with Ghiradelli chocolate also.

No...I took a recipe that was for regular ganache, added less cream and then swapped the chocolate it just was soupy once melted. Then I tried to save it and added those white chocolate chips from the craft store and that made them a mess.
I also had a hard time finding a white chocolate ganache recipe so if you happen to find one, could you post it

Re: a few questions...re freezing baked goods and the odious white chocolate haha
I have doen this with homemade cakes and cookies in the past. I just put them in the freezer and decorated them when i needed to. The lady that I use for cakes, does this all of the time.
For future info, if by chance you ever recieved a homemade gift of cookies from my home, chances are the were frozen prior to them reaching you!
taste is not compromised.
