Preheat oven to 350° F. Line two standard-size muffin pans with 24 paper cupcake liners.
Blend cake mix, egg whites, champagne, and oil in a large bowl at low speed until moistened (about 30 seconds).
Beat at medium speed for 2 minutes.
Fold in sprinkles. (optional)
Pour batter in pans and bake 17-20 minutes. Cupcakes are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.
Cool completely then frost with Sweet Champagne Frosting.
Sweet Champange Frosting
With an electric mixer, blend together confectioners’ sugar, marshmallow crème, shortening, and vanilla.
Add enough champagne to reach desired frosting consistency.
Use a spreader or decorative tip to frost cooled cupcakes.
Kansas Wheat Commission Test Kitchen Note
Cupcakes will need to be kept in a refrigerator or cool place after frosting them because frosting tends to droop if left at room temperature for very long.
