Champagne Cupcakes Recipe

Hello Friends!

Champagne cupcakes are a great way to ring in the new year.  

Why This Recipe

These cupcakes are quite easy as they start from a boxed mix.

These are made with a tasty champagne buttercream frosting. These really are delicious cupcakes!

This time of the year I am too busy to make them from scratch so I just played around by adding champagne to the mix and frosting. After all cupcakes and champagne go together really well.

I finally made a formula I liked. It is a fun and simple New Years dessert idea. 

How to make champagne cupcakes! Perfect for new years or a wedding celebration!

The flavor is subtle and sweet making a tasty cupcake. Next year, besides exercising more and discovering new books,  I resolve to make more cupcakes LOL.

Delicious recipe for champagne cupcakes. The taste is subtle but nice in both the cupcake and frosting.

Champagne cupcakes are great for weddings, engagement parties and New Years Eve celebrations.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
