The first white chocolate was invented in 1930.- Punchbowl@cupcakeblog YAY glad to be here! #cupcakechatPamelaWhite chocolate chips can't be easily replaced with regular chocolate in recipes because they burn quicker. #cupcakechatCupcakesTakeTheCakeWhite chocolate is sweeter than regular chocolate. If you substitute, then you may want to use less white chocolate. #cupcakechatCupcakesTakeTheCakeHowever substitutions in the cake can be dangerous and not turn out right. #cupcakechatCupcakesTakeTheCakeIt's better to stick to white chocolate cupcake recipes instead of substituting white chocolate in chocolate cake recipes. #cupcakechatCupcakesTakeTheCakeQ1.
