Recipe Notes
- The frosting can be made 2 days in advance, covered, and stored in the refrigerator until ready to use.
- Freezing Instructions: Freeze the frosting for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator, then beat on medium speed with 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk to smooth it out before using.
- After reducing the champagne, make sure it cools to room temperature because it will melt the butter in the frosting. That way the champagne can cool down as the cake cools down.
