Many thanks, Huette! I'll file these for future use.

As it happened, I pretty much decided on the spur of the moment to use 
the cocoa butter because I had it on hand, and no other form of white 
chocolate. It actually did provide a pretty intense white chocolate 
flavor and aroma. Points off for appearance and texture, though. My 
frosting looked just a tad like shiny mashed potatoes, and as it sat it 
began to leak tiny beads of cocoa butter. I might have been able to 
prevent this if I had anticipated it. Tasted great, though.

Thanks again!
