These cupcakes are perfect for a bridal shower. The cupcakes have a hint of champagne flavor and the sweetness of the strawberries. The champagne buttercream makes them a little extra special, while the champagne drizzle makes them some of the prettiest cupcakes I've ever seen.

Add remaining powdered sugar in ½ c. increments, mixing well after each addition. Add champagne as needed to reach desired consistency. Mix on high for 5-10 minutes or until fluffy.
  4. Top each cupcake with a strawberry fan & strawberry champagne drizzle
  5. Combine champagne drizzle ingredients in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer over medium-low heat for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool before drizzling over cupcakes.
