Ingredients
Scale
Cake:
- 1 box white cake mix
- 1¼ cup pink champagne (rosé)
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 3 egg whites
- 3–5 drops red food coloring
Glaze:
- 3 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons pink champagne (rosé)
Buttercream Icing:
- ½ cup butter, softened
- 4 cup powdered sugar
- ¼ cup pink champagne (rosé)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (clear if possible)
- 2–3 drops red food coloring
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 350℉ (175℃) to prepare for baking your cupcakes.
- Mix Cake Batter: In a mixing bowl, combine the white cake mix with 1¼ cup of pink champagne. Add the vegetable oil, egg whites, and red food coloring. Stir gently until just combined, being careful not to over-mix to keep the batter light.
- Fill Tins: Pour the batter into bundt or muffin tins, filling each just over halfway to allow room for rising.
- Bake Cupcakes: Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Once done, remove from oven and allow cupcakes to cool. Trim any excess tops as desired. Turn each cupcake upside down onto a wire rack placed over a tray or surface to catch drips.
- Prepare Glaze: Mix powdered sugar, milk, and pink champagne for the glaze. Microwave the glaze mixture until it reaches a pourable consistency. Pour the glaze over the cupcakes in a circular motion, allowing excess to drip off. Let the glaze set for a few minutes.
- Make Buttercream Icing: Combine softened butter, powdered sugar, pink champagne, vanilla extract, and red food coloring. Mix until smooth and creamy. Transfer the icing to a piping bag fitted with your preferred tip.
- Decorate: Pipe the buttercream icing onto the glazed cupcakes with decorative swirls or patterns to finish.
- Chill Before Serving: Refrigerate the decorated cupcakes to firm up the icing and enhance flavor before serving.
Notes
- For a more vibrant pink color, adjust the amount of red food coloring to your preference.
- Use clear vanilla extract if possible to maintain the delicate color of the icing.
- Ensure cupcakes are completely cool before glazing and icing to prevent melting.
- Store cupcakes in the refrigerator to keep the buttercream fresh, especially if not serving immediately.
- These cupcakes contain alcohol from champagne, so they may not be suitable for children or those avoiding alcohol.
