"Made with a champagne reduction, our Pink Champagne Buttercream is creamy, silky, light and melts ethereally on the tongue while not being overly sweet. It’s the perfect buttercream frosting for special occasion cakes and cupcakes. And, it tastes just like it came from an upscale bakery! All-natural, egg and soy free with a dairy free variation...."
