Can you taste the prosesso in the icing? Is it any good
Yes – you can taste it a bit and it’s very good! Hope you try it.
I’ve just finished making these for a New Year’s Eve party. Making exactly as directed by the used Italian prosceco sparking Rose’. They have a perfect subtle but definite taste of the champagne. A BIG thanks. They will be a hit at the party.
I’m so happy you made them. And great idea with the Sparkling Rose. I actually have another cupcake recipe where I used Pink Champagne. I’m sure yours will be a big hit! Happy New Year!
Hi,these sound great , but I’m in the UK so unsure what a stick of butter is? Do u know the weight in grammes of how much butter used ? Thanks
Hi Karen! 1 stick of butter is 1/2 cup or 113 grams. Hope you love them as much as we do!
Can I substitute Asti Spumante for the Prosecco? I have a bottle on hand.
Thanks.
Absolutely! And just in case you are looking for another similar recipe, I have one for pink champagne cupcakes.
How much dry mixture s in the box , I’m from the uk too.
Hi Yvonne
A box cake mix is usually 461 grams. Hope this helps!
