HELP someone! I'm making a cake for my son's first birthday and am making a gorgeous gooey chocolate cake and want to ice it with white chocolate but cant find a good recipe.I guess the basics is white choc drops, butter & icing sugar but to what quantities and I'd also like to colour it so I can write on it etc .... any ideas?!

I would make ganache - just use white chocolate instead of milk and dark. You can also make chocolate buttercream but I think ganache is much nicer. My recipe is here - will work fine with white choc. :-) http://www.mrscake.co.nz/2010/11/chocolate-ganache.html

mmm, they both sound wonderful.Can you colour either of these? I've heard ganache's dont colour well? Is that true??

Ganache made with milk or dark chocolate wouldn't take colour well because it's brown, and I would tend to prefer powder colour, but gel or a small amount of liquid colour should work too - just not too much. If you want a deep colour I'd recommend trying to find powder colour. :-)
