Pink Moscato Cupcakes

Hi friends! I recently had a girls night party, and I made some delicious Pink Moscato Cupcakes.  These darn cupcakes didn’t last longer than 10 minutes into the party. Some guest didn’t get to enjoy it because several individuals had more than one! (I must admit, I was one of the people that took more than one…GUILTY!)

I came up with this recipe knowing that the ladies would LOVE a little wine, but I didn’t want any of my light weight drinkers to leave buzzed. I don’t think I could have come up with a better way to give us our wine fix, without anyone getting drunk.

With these cupcakes, you can taste a hint of the wine, but it’s far from overwhelming. Therefore you don’t have to worry about biting into strong and bitter delights. I use my recipe for butter cream frosting, but you can use my recipe for cream cheese frosting or use store made frosting if you’d like.
I’d definitely recommend this recipe for bachelorette parties, bridal showers, wine parties, and any other girls night out.

    Question: Do I omit the 1 cup of water required based on cake mix? Or do I still add that?
