- Cool: Allow the cupcakes to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. 
- Make the Frosting: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened butter until creamy. Gradually add the powdered sugar, followed by the champagne and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth and fluffy.
