Is Champagne Gluten Free

Yes, champagne, like wine, is naturally gluten free. Always check labels on champagne to make sure no ingredients were added that contain gluten, especially flavored champagnes or colored champagnes.

I originally shared these Gluten-Free White Champagne Cupcakes in December of 2014. I’ve recently updated the post and wanted to re-share them. These classy gluten-free white champagne cupcakes are the adult version of traditional white cupcakes.

They are super simple to make and only use nine ingredients from cupcake to frosting.

I’ve had so many people make these cupcakes for wedding showers, mothers day, and even weddings and tag my on social media. I love seeing people enjoy these cupcakes, so if you make them, please let me know what you thought and what event you made them for.

You don’t need to have an event for an excuse to make these, they can be made for any reason, any time of the year.

If you’re not a fan of champagne, you can substitute the champagne with your favorite clear soda for a fun and unique twist. A few readers have substituted vanilla cream soda and made these for a baby shower. Fun, right?

I also know not everyone consumes alcohol, or likes the taste of champagne, so at least there are options. These cupcakes are tender, like bakery-style tender and they are incredible to bite into. I will warn you that the buttercream frosting is rich.

You can add as much or as little frosting as your heart desires, or you can top these Gluten-Free White Champagne Cupcakes with fresh whipped cream.

These gluten free champagne cupcakes are like a party in your mouth and I hope you’ll give them a try. Cupcakes don’t have to be difficult, so hopefully you can see just how simple these cupcakes are to make.

Notes

• Flours: My gluten free flour blend and Bob's Red Mill 1-to-1 Gluten Free Baking Flour work best in this gluten free champagne cupcake recipe. I don't recommend using Bob's Red Mill All Purpose Gluten Free Flour.
• When working with or measuring gluten-free flour, spoon the flour into the measuring cup and level. Do not scoop your measuring cup into the gluten-free flour.
