Expert Tips

Champagne is a sparkling wine, and while many expensive champagnes are available, this is one time you might choose less expensive champagne. Have the champagne at room temperature when preparing the cake.

For pink decorator sugar crystals, edible pink pearls and decorative cupcake liners, check out fancyflours.com.

Sprinkle garnishes on cupcakes just before serving to maximize sparkle and keep them from absorbing moisture and melting into frosting.

This is my go-to cupcake recipe. It's fast and easy, the only adjustment I make is using applesauce instead of oil. Whether using champagne or substituting ginger ale, they're always moist and fluffy. It's also easy to just change the food coloring or use a different extract to suit your dessert needs. It's definitely a crowd pleaser!
