So, here we go, it’s the last day of 2013 –
a year full of events and journeys, tears and joy, emotions and unexpected
outcomes.
I’m not gonna have a big party but I wanted
to prepare something I had never done before. Generally, I am no big fan of
sparkling wines or of anything else fizzy, as a matter of fact. I like my
alcohol strong and aged and champagne is just a little too ostentatious for me.
However, lately I have been experimenting with various types of alcohol when
baking, so I thought it wouldn’t hurt to try my hand at sparkling wine as well.
So found a really simple recipe for champagne cupcakes here and then modified
it with some blueberry jam to give it some twits. You may leave the blueberry
jam out if you don’t like it, or, alternatively, substitute it with strawberry
jam if you prefer.
