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 can use less expensive champagne.
  • tip 2
    Sprinkle garnishes on cake just before serving to maximize sparkle and keep them from absorbing moisture and melting into frosting.
