New Year’s Ball Drop Cupcakes: New Years Cupcakes

December 27, 2013 by Jenn

Are you ready to PAR-TAY?  These cupcakes are!  They are covered in streamers, confetti and a ball drop for countdown . . . I don’t think I could have crammed more “party” onto them if I had tried. 

I’ve never been to Times Square on New Years Eve, and I don’t think I’ll ever try (way too many people) despite my love for NYC, but watching the ball drop is pretty much the biggest iconic symbol of this holiday.  New Years eve is one of those holidays that I have a love-hate relationship with . . well, it’s pretty much a hate/hate relationship.  There is always the pressure to do something whether it is to find a party, to hold a party, to pay money for a party (ya, right!), or hide at home with the lights off and the door locked (me? never!).  The overwhelming urge to be in bed by 9:30 that night usually kicks in and I’m barely able to stay awake for the 12:00 countdown.  I hope you have a better attitude that I do when it comes to NYE . .  and I hope you have better plans than we do!  If you do, make sure you brag about them in the comment section as I’d love to hear about them and live vicariously.  I think if we lived in a bigger city, we might have more to do, but that is not the case right, now so I’ll be on the couch.

Champagne Cupcakes for New Years Eve

December 27, 2012 by Jenn

What is the best sound of the holidays?  The pop of the champagne cork of course!  Champagne has always been a traditional addition to New Years Eve celebrations in my family home growing up, and of course continues to be one now! 

I am definitely not a champagne connoisseur, as you may be able to tell with my use of Yellow Tail Sparkling Wine in the video . . . why would I waste good champagne on something that is baked?!?!  For cooking/baking purposes this brand is great . . . relatively cheap (not as cheap as Baby Duck!), has a definite champagne taste that stays throughout the baking process, and it doesn’t taste too bad when you drink the rest of the bottle when you’re done baking these cupcakes . . . using the bottle or a flute to finish it off works either way 🙂
