Hi Nora,
White chocolate does not combine with cream to give you the same results.It does work as a stabilizer and flavoring for whipped cream for piping or folding into egg whites. Rose has a White Ganache recipe in The Cake Bible. We also use it as a component in the Rose's Heavenly Cakes for a couple of frostings.
Hi Rose. For making ganache frosting, can I use something called Ghirardelli 60% Bittersweet Baking Chocolate. I don't own a scale yet to weigh Valrhona's chocolate so I find I More convenient using Ghirardelli Baking Bars. Are these bars suitable for making ganache?
I live in Reno, NV.Im at an elevation of 4,500 - 5,000 ft. Everytime that I bake a cake or puddings they don't get done! I end up baking another 20 min or so and still, the center comes out barely done.
Rose, could you please offer me some advice?
Thank you so much,
Karen

What can I say...Just great! (As always). Life has been a little hectic...and I haven't had much time to spend with my computer. I miss all my baking buddies, especially you, Rose. Hope this finds you well...thanks for the posting.
