Pink Champagne Cupcakes with Pink Champagne Buttercream Frosting
Biting into a homemade cupcake is truly never a bad experience – especially when that cupcake is made with pink champagne! Everything about these adorable cupcakes is girly and fun, all while being incredibly delicious. Both the cupcake itself and the sweet buttercream are flavored with champagne. While the flavor is evident, it’s not overpowering at all! These cupcakes have just the right amount of sweetness with a hint of tasty champagne. Next time you have a bachelorette party, girl’s night, or even a brunch to attend, be sure to bring a dozen or so of these pink champagne cupcakes in tow. They’re ALWAYS a massive hit!
How to Make Pink Champagne Cupcakes
Heat the champagne to create a reduction. Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Whisk the sugar, oil, and butter together. Add the eggs, then mix thoroughly. Mix the wet and dry ingredients. Add the reduced champagne, and don’t over mix. Pour the batter evenly into cupcake liners. Bake.
Time to make the buttercream!
Whisk the butter until smooth and creamy. Add powdered sugar. Stir in the reduced champagne. Add pink gel dye. Pipe the buttercream onto completely cooled cupcakes. Add sprinkles!
I keep trying to come up with excuses to make a batch of these pink champagne cupcakes – I mean, just look at how cute they are! Does anyone have a bridal shower I can come to?
