In the Champagne Room

First of all, this blog is not about sex in the Champagne Room.

Rather, it is about making my Pink Champagne Cupcakes for Kim's 50th birthday party tomorrow! 

Yes, there is actual Champagne in the cupcakes and the frosting! Mmm! Champagne is my favorite! I actually had to look up the best way to pop a bottle of bubbly since, to my knowledge, I had not opened a bottle of Champagne before! I was glad that I looked it up - the directions I found suggested holding a towel over the bottle's top as you remove the cork. Good thinking! The cork would have flown across the room without the towel present and with all of the bubbles - some of it flowed out of the bottle! So, now I know how to uncork Champagne like a champ! 

The cupcakes are baked, frosted, decorated and boxed, awaiting their trip to Eden Prairie for the birthday bash tomorrow! It will be a fun afternoon! I am looking forward to it! 





After this commission, next up will be Halleigh's 2nd birthday cupcakes - Elmo! I may have to practice more with the frosting tip. I tried using the tip with firm frosting and it was pretty difficult - so there is room for some exploration! 

Well, that's about it, just a cupcake update for the most part tonight!
I need to work on branding my cupcake creations...stay tuned!
