Easy Champagne Cupcakes
Easy champagne cupcakes with champagne frosting is a New Year’s Eve dessert you won’t want to miss! How to make champagne cupcakes using a box cake. These cupcakes have a subtle champagne taste in the cake and in the frosting. They do not taste like you are drinking champagne, but have a mild champagne flavor. If you are wanting a really bold champagne flavor in these cupcakes, I would recommend using a champagne flavoring. You can pair these box cake champagne cupcakes with champagne buttercream; you just need butter, powdered sugar and a few tablespoons of champagne.
There are TONS of fun decorating options! You can use gold sanding sugar, gold sprinkles, gold nonpareils, gold star sprinkles or edible gold leaf. To make, cut the gold wire to the desired size, and bend the wire to make a small loop on one end. Cut off a small portion of gold garland, stick it through the loop and wrap it around until it stays. You should have a little gold puff ball! Simple, delicious, and festive! Happy New Year!
