EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Champagne is a sparkling wine, and while many expensive champagnes are available, this is one time you can use less expensive champagne.

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

I made this cake and it was EXCELLENT!! Used Verdi as it has a nice taste and not bitter like some champagnes. Added color to egg whites before adding to cake. As far as frosting added color to champagne before adding to powdered sugar and mixed by hand to blend together. Then added softened butter, vanilla. Beat with mixer for 2 minutes. Frosting was light and creamy.. Family LOVED it....

Followed this recipe exactly except that I did not add color to the actual cake. I could not have been more please with how it turned out. It had no taste of alcohol and the frosting was a typical butter creme style; not to sweet. I would recommend that you like the taste of whatever kind of champagne you are using (would want to drink it) because anytime you are cooking with alcohol, the taste of the liquor (not the alcohol)will come through.

I have just finished making this cake (haven't eaten it yet), and I just wanted to say that when making the frosting, you have to add a little more champagne than the recipe says because without it my frosting was one big powdery mess. once i added the extra champagne (extra? can any champagne at all be considered extra?), it tasted pretty good (i admit to scraping some of the icing off of the spoon).
