    In large bowl, beat powdered sugar, butter and salt with electric mixer on low speed until blended. Beat in 3 tablespoons champagne and juice. If frosting is too thick, beat in more champagne a few drops at a time. Frost cupcakes. Garnish with white sugar and silver pearls.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Champagne is a sparkling wine, and while many expensive champagnes are available, this is one time you might choose less expensive champagne or sparkling white wine. Have the champagne or sparkling white wine at room temperature when preparing the cake.
