Let’s bake these elegant Moscato Cupcakes!

Step 1: Preheat and Prepare

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line one muffin tin with 12 cupcake liners.

Step 2: Make the Cupcakes

In a large bowl, combine the white cake mix with 1 1/2 cups of the Moscato wine. Mix according to package directions.

Bake the cupcakes according to the package directions.

Let the cupcakes cool completely in the muffin tin before frosting.

Step 3: Make the Moscato Frosting

While the cupcakes are cooling, make the frosting. In a large bowl, combine the softened butter, 2 cups of the powdered sugar, vanilla extract, salt, and the remaining 1/4 cup of Moscato.

Using a hand mixer, beat the ingredients until smooth.

Gradually add the remaining 2 cups of powdered sugar and beat until the frosting is light and fluffy.

Step 4: Divide and Color Frosting

Separate the frosting into two bowls.

Add 3 drops of pink food coloring to one bowl of frosting and mix until evenly colored. Leave the other bowl of frosting white.

Step 5: Prepare Piping Bag

Spoon the frosting, side by side, one color at a time, into a piping bag fitted with a star tip. This will create a two-toned swirl when you pipe the frosting.

Step 6: Frost and Decorate

Pipe the frosting onto the cooled cupcakes, creating a swirl with the two colors.

Garnish the frosted cupcakes with white nonpareils.
