For a more pronounced champagne flavor, consider using champagne extract in addition to the champagne itself. Ensure the butter and shortening are at room temperature for the smoothest buttercream frosting. Sifting the confectioners' sugar will help prevent lumps in the frosting. If you don't have edible flowers, consider using fresh berries or candied citrus peel for garnish. The assembled cake can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Allow it to come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor and texture.
