1. Sparkling Champagne Cupcakes

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 2 large eggs
• 1/2 cup champagne
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 1/4 cup champagne
• Gold sprinkles

Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a cupcake tin with liners. In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugar and butter until light and fluffy. Add in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, alternating with the champagne and milk. Mix until well combined. Pour the batter into the cupcake liners, filling them about 3/4 of the way full. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting.

For the frosting, beat the powdered sugar and champagne together until smooth and creamy. If the frosting is too thick, add more champagne. If it's too thin, add more powdered sugar. Frost the cooled cupcakes and top with gold sprinkles for a festive touch.

Gradually add in the strawberry puree until well combined. Pour the mixture onto the graham cracker crust and spread evenly. Refrigerate for 1 hour.

Once the cheesecake has set, cut it into bite-sized squares. Dip each square into the melted chocolate and place on a lined baking sheet. Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until the chocolate is hardened. Serve and enjoy!
