Well, as promised, I made Champagne Cupcakes!  I had promised to make this in the exciting event that I passed the North Carolina Bar Exam, and lucky for you (AND ME!) I passed and made treats for you all to celebrate with me!  One of my favorite cocktails in the world is a Kir Royale.  I discovered this delicious cocktail at Christmas last year and thought that transforming them into a dessert would be an absolute delight! 

I adapted a recipe for Champagne Cupcakes from my friend Yuri of Chef Pandita.  She made lovely champagne cupcakes with lycee for her birthday and I've been dying to make my Kir Royale version, but I was waiting for that letter!  Well I finally got it and it was good news!  I already had a backup plan in case it wasn't (another cocktail) but I'm happy I can share these with you instead!  Now that it's the weekend and I had time to go buy ingredients, I got everything I needed, including champagne and Chambord.
