Gluten Free Chocolate Mint

One word.  Yum.  If a cupcake could be described as refreshing, this one would be.  This cupcake is light and airy with a hint of mint icing.  I hate to even say the C word before Thanksgiving, but here goes nothin...this cupcake wants to be invited to your Christmas party.  There, I said it.  Just make sure there's a chilled Riesling within arms reach.  Better yet, maybe two.   

Raspberry Champagne

Raspberries and champagne.  Simple and classic.  Raspberry mousse fills this cupcake topped with a champagne buttercream.  Enjoy this cupcake any time of the day...it is fruit based after all.  Admittedly a stretch, but who hasn't had (or wanted) a cupcake for breakfast.  We won't tell.  Pair this with a Riesling, but try to wait until afternoon. 

Lemon White Chocolate

White chocolate and lemon.  Sweet and tart.  Pair this with a sauvignon blanc and the citrus is undeniable.  Not enough to make you pucker, but just enough to make your mouth water.  Could be your new Saturday afternoon treat.
