From New Year’s Eve to college graduation parties, these Champagne-laced confections add just the right amount of festive touch.
1. Chestnut Macarons With Pink Champagne Filling: It’s hard to see, but Champagne isn’t the only glitzy touch featured in these chewy macarons. If you look closely enough, you may be able to catch a glimmer of the edible glitter sandwiched between the shells. (via Mowielicious)
2. Lemon Champagne Cake: Fizzy wine is just the thing to turn run-of-the-mill boxed cake mix into some fancy batter. With a Champagne frosting to match, this mile-high cake is nothing short of impressive. (via Brit + Co)
3. Prosecco-Poached Peaches With Liberte Coconut Yogurt: Poaching is the perfect solution for transforming not-quite-ripe peaches into an elegant topper for yogurt and more. Of course you can use super sweet, fresh-from-the-orchard fruit, but sometimes that’s just not an option. (via Girl Versus Dough)
4. Mimosa Sorbet Made With Blood Oranges: Blow some minds the next time you host brunch by serving this sorbet up instead of the usual mimosas. (via Hungry Australian)
5. Pink Champagne Cupcakes: These pretty-in-pink, personal-sized pastries pair beautifully with a nice glass of sparkling rosé. (via Hummingbird High)
6. Meringue nests with Champagne Poached Strawberries: Champagne and strawberries are one of those classically sexy combinations — go ahead and bookmark this recipe for Valentine’s Day. (via Delicious Everyday)
7. Blood Orange-Champagne Crème Brûlée: Sparkling-wine-soaked blood orange slices crown the top of these custard cups, adding just a touch of tart flavor to the mix. (via Cooking on the Weekends)
8. Gluten-Free Champagne Cake: Bake this fluffy batter into perfectly-crumbed cupcakes or a full-sized cake. Either one you choose is sure to win over gluten eaters and avoiders alike. (via Gluten-Free on a Shoestring)
9. Brownie Parfait With Strawberry Champagne Sauce: Feel free to cheat a little bit here by swapping in store-bought brownies for homemade. After all, the real showstoppers are the strawberry-Champagne sauce and fluffy vanilla-bean-mascarpone topping. (via Pretty Girls Cook)
10. Champagne Mug Cake: It seems so wrong to put sparkling wine in the microwave, but trust that if you take the plunge, you’ll be rewarded with a fizzy vanilla cake in a matter of minutes. (via Kirbie Cravings)
11. Champagne Cake: If Champagne-laced ganache wasn’t rich enough, the gold leaf garnish applied to the top of this regal cake is sure to do the trick. (via Food52)
12. Chocolate Champagne Truffles: Take your pick of white or bittersweet chocolate for these truffles tinged with the essence of orange. They’re a terrific edible hostess gift for any New Year’s Eve parties you may attend. (via Strudel and Cream)
13. Skinny Champagne Parfaits: For the holidays, upgrade the diet soda commonly found in skinny cakes to a splash of bubbly. Sure, it adds a few calories to the mix, but when layered with berries — as it is here — we’ll just go ahead and call it a wash. (via Beyond Frosting)
14. Chocolate Macarons With Chocolate and Champagne Ganache: Bite into these macarons and you’ll be greeted by a surprise fizzy burst. The clever addition of popping candies mimics bubbly Champers oh so well. (via The Botanical Baker)
