Champagne Frosting
- 1 cup champagne
- 1 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
- 4-5 cups confectioners sugar
- 1 t vanilla
- 1/2 t salt
Bring the champagne to a boil. simmer over medium heat until reduced, about 12-15 minutes. cool completely. cream the butter and add 2 cups of sugar. when the sugar and butter are completely mixed add 2 more cups of sugar. when mixed completely again, add cooled champagne, vanilla and salt. add more sugar, 1/4 cup at a time, until the frosting has a thicker consistency that peaks when you pull the beater out.
Nerdy Tips
- make sure the champagne reduction has cooled completely before adding to the butter and sugar mixture (or the butter will melt and your frosting will turn to soup!)
- use the champagne reduction to brush the tops of the cupcakes while they cool
