#ChristmasSweetTreats is well underway. The giveaway is below, and the prize package is incredible! I hope everybody wins! Everyone IS a winner if you try at least one of the sweets listed below. The lovely bloggers in this group are a talented bunch when it comes to food!
I wanted to create a simple but fabulous recipe that could be made quickly for a festive holiday treat. Since I am starting with a white cake mix, this will be a fast way to get a dessert on the table. These are celebration cupcakes, so think New Year's Eve, bridal showers or special birthdays!
Take a close look at those sprinkles. These are hands down the best sprinkles I have ever used. I will never be able to go to the store and just get little, colored sprinkles ever again. You have to go look!
Cranberry Champagne Cupcakes
1 white cake mix
3 egg whites
1 c Sprite Cranberry (when it's not the holidays, use regular Sprite)
1/3 c vegetable oil
1 can whole berry cranberry sauce
1 T Lorann Oils Sparkling Wine Flavor
1/2 c Sweets and Treats sprinkles
Preheat the oven to 350. Prepare cupcake pan with paper wrappers. Mix white cake mix, egg whites, Sprite, and oil and beat for 2 minutes until batter is light and fluffy. Stir in the Sparkling Wine Flavor.
place 1/4 cup of batter in each cupcake paper.
Dollop a teaspoon of cranberry sauce in the middle of the batter.
Top the cranberries with 1/4 cup of batter. Continue until all cupcakes are made. Bake for 20 minutes in the oven. Remove and cool completely. Frost with prepared white icing with 1 t of sparkling wine flavoring mixed in. Top cupcakes with Sprinkles!
