Pink Champagne Cupcakes

By sheilaolim

Tiny bubbles. Beautiful cupcakes. Super easy!

Success
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.
