Well it's a New Year - 2011! I brought in the New Year at home in my velour sweats with the three people I love the most. We watched movies (Indiana Jones) and ate snacks and treats in the living room (something we very rarely do).
My husband and I don't drink, and I honestly do not care for Champagne at all. So I decided to serve Champagne in an nontraditional way - as a Cupcake. Even if I'm not a fan of the bubbly, when you put it in a cupcake, well then I'm ok with that. Lets just say I haven't met a cupcake I didn't love. I got this recipe from
Sprinkles Bakes (a fantastic blog). They were very easy to make. And they will be a new favorite at future celebrations I do believe. The cake is velvety, the pastry filling is creamy smooth, and the frosting is fluffy and light. There is a definite hint of champagne, but is delicate and fruity.
Simply divine. Happy New Year.
