Let’s Talk a little about Pink Champagne
Pink Champagne, says Town and Country, is a sparkling white wine, it gets the latter part of its name from the Champagne district of France.
It gets its pink coloring from the grape skins during fermentation or the addition of a small amount of red wine just before the second fermentation.
Fun Fact: Champagne is the only region in the world where you can legally blend red wine and white wine to create a rosé.
Winemakers are allowed to use three grape types to make Champagne: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Pinot Meunier, the last two are red grape varieties.

The buttercream won’t have many colors, so we use food coloring.
Make it as pale or bold as you want. Pink is gorgeous in any shade. I like food coloring pastes best because it is more concentrated, and you can simply dip a toothpick into the small container and add the color. The Kitchn has a great food coloring guide to help you decide which is best.
