What an amazing “Birthday Month”! So to end March with a bang, this week’s blog post features me and Neha from The Bowtie Bakery showing you how to make my birthday treat: PINK CHAMPAGNE CUPCAKES! They are soooo yum and perfect for celebrating with at your birthday party or even for a girls night in. We show you how to make these cupcakes at home so if you do re-create them, make sure to show us by tagging @thebowtiebakery and @amindhillon with the hashtag #pinkchampagnecupcakes. Oh and make sure to have a glass (or two) of champagne with the cupcakes!!!
