Cupcake
1 box white cake mix
1/3 cup melted butter
3 egg whites
1/2 cup moscato or Sutter Home Pink Moscato
3/4 cup water
pink food coloring if wanted

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 24 cupcake tins.
Mix all ingredients on low speed untill mixed. Mix and additional 2 min on medium speed untill well mixed and fluffy. Divide into cupcake tins. Will make 24. Bake for 19 min.

Frosting:
2 sticks non salted butter (room temperature)
4 cups powdered sugar
2 tbs Moscato or Pink Moscato wine
1 tsp vanilla
1/4 to 1/3 cup whipping cream

Before you begin, it is important to decide whether or not you want to make the wine redution. If so, do not add the wine to the frosting mixture and increase you whipping cream by 2 tbs. The reduction is strong and could become overpowering with both.

Beat butter over medium high speed untill light and fluffy. Beat in  the powdered sugar 1 cup at a time. Add vanilla and wine if using. Add 1/4 cup whipping cream and beat till fluffy. At this point you may need to add additional cream to get the right texture you are looking for.

Wine Reduction
1 Cup Moscato or Pink Moscato.
1/3 cup sugar
pink gel coloring if desired.

In a small sauce pan combine sugar and wine and bring to a slow rolling boil stirring occasionally. Reduce mixture by half. Let mixture cool and drizzle of cupcakes.
