A Year of Cupcakes: January

2015 was supposed to kick off with the chocolate cupcake recipe in my wall calendar, but the New Year left me with an extra bottle of bubbly. Therefore, I decided to make champagne cupcakes instead! Since I was sure this was already a thing, I went to allrecipes and had a quick look around. I found an easy recipe that uses a box mix right away. Click here for the recipe.

The resulting batch of cupcakes were WONDERFUL! They turned out light, fluffy and utterly delicious (not to mention delightfully luxurious)! I didn’t have to use anything expensive (I used Cook’s brut) and they were super easy to make. I emphatically suggest trying these for yourself.

A Year of Cupcakes

Every year, my Granny loves to buy new calendars for everyone. I’m not generally a fan of wall calendars, so I tend to roll my eyes and ask her not to buy me one. Of course she always buys me one anyway. This year, though, she bought me an adorable one that I actually plan on using! It’s cupcake themed, which I love, AND it also includes RECIPES!

It should come as no surprise, then, that my new wall calendar has inspired me with a fun blog idea. Starting in January, I aim to bake a new batch of cupcakes each month, using the recipes in my calendar. I encourage any of my readers who feel like baking along with me to please do so!
