2 tbsp milk
1 (8 oz) pkg cream cheese, softened
1/4 cup confectioners sugar

Cool slightly. In Classic Batter Bowl, combine cream cheese and confectioners sugar; mix well. Gradually stir in white chocolate mixture; mix until smooth. Fold in whipped topping.

Spread preserves evenly over cake. Frost cake with remaining cream cheese mixture. Pipe a decorative border around edge of cake using decorator. Garnish with chopped nuts or grated chocolate, if desired. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
