These Gluten Free Champagne Cupcakes are moist and full of champagne flavor! A New Year’s Eve spin on my vanilla cupcakes, there is real champagne in the cake and the frosting. Use Prosecco or bubbly if you don’t have champagne. These light and fluffy cupcakes are a perfect complement to your glass of celebratory champagne or bellini cocktail. If you are trying to avoid alcohol, skip the glass of bubbly and toast to the New Year with cupcakes! For a festive New Year’s Eve decoration, light a sparkler when the clock strikes midnight!
