Peach Bellini Cupcakes

Do you have a ladies brunch coming up soon?  No?  Well, then you should plan one just so that you can make these Cupcakes… they’re perfection!  So cute & classy… we love classy around here. ;)

I’m fairly certain that there is nothing better in life than having cupcakes with champagne.  See, told ya… perfection!  I thought about these a few weeks ago and then decided to google them before heading into the kitchen.  Google folks, it’s your bff.

Before I start baking I always do a quick search to see if someone has already come up with the idea that’s brewin’ in my head.  100% of the time (promise, 100%) I find something… it might not be exactly what I’m looking for, but probably something close.  I found a few recipes but these looked amazing and I actually had everything already, win x 2.

I do not use any form of Alcohol/spirits when baking what can be used in place of the champagne and schnapps?

Follow the recipe for any peach cupcake, since that’s all you’re making after removing the schnapps and champagne.

5 ***** I made this recipe this morning and they are delicious!! Very light cupcake and icing. Thank you! (I used several spoons of peach preserves since I could not find fresh peaches and it was perfect!)

I just came across your peach Bellini cupcakes and the ingredients say 6 egg whites, but in the directions it says to add one egg at a time. Is this correct?

You just don't want to dump all the egg whites in at once. You want to make sure each is completely incorporated before moving on to the next. So, if you want to crack them ahead of time into one bowl, just add a little at a time. Make sense?

Just wondering if you could sub the Peach Snapps for different kind of liqueur, as I am not a huge Peach fan but these look delicious
