1 - NO CAVITIES! WOO HOO!
2 - When H bought the champagne for the cupcakes, he didn't read the recipe first. He got me the kind I like to drink (dry) not what the recipe called for (sweet or pink).
I think, for this reason, the cupcakes came out a bit savory. H said they almost tasted like snickerdoodles. People are still liking them, though. I don't know if I would bother making this recipe again, especially when there are so many other ones to try on her website.
