How To Make White Chocolate Icing For A Wedding Cake.?

Cake
I am looking for an extract or flavoring for making white chocolate icing for a wedding cake. My icing needs to be bright white and I need an easy no fail way to do it. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have seen recipes where you melt white chocolate but that looks difficult and more time consuming. And I’m not sure how truly white that would be.

For the 7-Minute Frosting:
3 large egg whites
12 ounces sugar, approximately 1 3/4 cups
1/3 cup water
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Bring 1 quart of water to a boil in a 4-quart saucepan over high heat. Decrease the heat to medium to maintain a steady simmer. In the meantime, place the egg whites, sugar, water, cream of tartar and salt into a medium size-mixing bowl. Place the bowl over the simmering water and immediately begin beating with an electric hand mixer set to low speed. Beat for 1 minute and then increase the speed to high and continue to beat for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and beat in the vanilla extracts for 1 minute. Allow the frosting to sit for 5 minutes before using.
Good luck!!

Melting white chocolate really is the way to go on this.
There are no white chocolate extracts out there.
Using white chocolate is the only way you would be able to get it to look really white.
It is not hard at all. All you have to do is put the chocolate in a microwaveable bowl and then microwave it for like a minute.
Don’t be scared away. This is how you are going to get it to seem really real.
