  • 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
  • 1.5 cups granulated sugar
  • 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup fresh peaches, diced into a ¼-inch or diced canned peaches
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon fine grain sea salt
  • 3/4 cup champagne or prosecco or other sparkling white wine
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream, divided
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 whole egg
  • 2 egg yolks egg yolks
  • 1/2 cup champagne or prosecco
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Milk or cream to thin
  • 6 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon LorAnn peach flavoring oil or 2 tablespoons peach schnapps
  • Chefmaster neon brite yellow soft gel food color
  • Chefmaster neon brite orange soft gel food color
  • Chefmaster red red soft gel food color
  • 2 tablespoons white nonpareils
  • 16-18 small fresh mint leaves (optional)

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Start by combining butter and confectioners’ sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer with a whisk attachment. Mix until smooth.
  • Gradually add milk or cream, beating until the mixture is light, fluffy, and reaches piping consistency.
  • Incorporate the peach flavor into the mixture while continuing to beat thoroughly.
  • Slowly introduce food color until you achieve your preferred shade.
  • Prepare a disposable piping bag fitted with a large French pastry tip for decorating.
  • In a condiment cup, place some red food color; use a kitchen brush to apply it inside the decorator tip and along both sides of the piping bag.
  • Core each cupcake using a paring knife by removing small sections from their centers; keep these pieces aside as they will be used later.
  • Fill another disposable piping bag with pastry cream and fill each cupcake cavity with 1½ to 2 tablespoons of this creamy filling.
  • Trim saved cake pieces flat so they can serve as lids over filled cupcakes before placing them back on top securely.

Frosting and Decoration

  • Pipe frosting onto each cupcake in swirls, then sprinkle white nonpareils generously on top right away after frosting application.
  • Continue through all cupcakes until fully decorated.
  • Add fresh mint leaves atop each frosted treat just prior to serving for extra flair.

Notes

Use fresh peaches when in season for the best flavor. If you can’t find peach flavoring oil, peach schnapps works well too. Make sure your butter is at room temperature to create a smooth batter. When mixing the frosting, take your time to achieve the right consistency for piping.
