It was a great way to break out the bubbly.

Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Spray bottoms of pans with vegetable spray.
I used small ramekins to make individual layer cakes. It made four two-layer cakes.
In large bowl, stir together cake mix and 1 -1/4 cups champagne. Add oil, egg whites and food color; beat with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes. Pour into pans.
Bake for 20-25 minutes until done. Cool 10 minutes. Remove cakes from pans to cooling racks. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
In medium bowl, beat frosting ingredients with electric mixer on medium speed until smooth. On serving plate, place 1 cake layer, rounded side down. Frost top of cake layer. Top with second layer, rounded side up. Frost side and top of cake.
I used a tub of vanilla frosting and tinted it a very light pink.
Let them eat cake...
Marie Antoinette
Combine ingredients in large mixing bowl.
The champagne will make the bubbles when added to the cake mix.
Mix on medium speed for 2-3 minutes.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes until cake is done.
I sliced off the top of the cake to make a flatter top to layer the cake.
I used a tub of prepared frosting and tinted it a very pale pink.
The first layer is placed rounded side down,
and the second layer is rounded side up.
Frost the top and the sides of the cake.
The butterfly is a Dark Chocolate Coconut Chocolate
