About a teaspoon for each cupcake should be enough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Champagne<\/strong>: Dry champagne or prosecco works best. You can also use non-alcoholic sparkling wine.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><strong>Reduction<\/strong>: This is the process of simmering a liquid to create a more concentrated flavor. By doing this to the champagne, you&#8217;re able to make the flavor more evident in the frosting. You can still make the frosting without reducing the champagne, but the flavor will not be nearly as noticeable and the alcohol won&#8217;t be cooked off.<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><strong>Store<\/strong> in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><strong>Freeze<\/strong> for up to 3 months. Wrap cupcakes in plastic wrap to prevent freezer burn.<\/div>\n<div class=\"wprm-spacer\"><strong>Mini cupcakes<\/strong>: If you wish to make mini cupcakes, reduce baking time to 10 to 12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>On The Menu<\/h3>\n<p>This concludes our tasty tailgate treats for the 2023 season.
