The Only Dessert Recipe You’ll Ever Need: 1960’s Pink Champagne Cupcakes

pink champagne cupcakes

I absolutely LOVE vintage recipes from the 1950s and 60’s era. Pink champagne cupcakes simply shout glamour and glitz! I don’t ever recall my mom or grandma making these cupcakes and when I asked them about it my grandma said that they were generally saved for a New Year’s Eve celebration. I can totally see why because pink champagne cupcakes are bursting with celebratory flair. I think I’ll make these lovely little treats for a spring picnic my family is having on Sunday afternoon.

don’t you just love the pretty pink frosting on these pink champagne cupcakes?
