Heat oven to 350°F (180°C) (325°F/160°C for dark or nonstick pans). Spray bottoms and sides of two 8- or 9-inch (20 or 23 cm) round cake pans with baking spray with flour.

In large bowl, stir together cake mix and 1 1/4 cups (300 mL) champagne. Add oil, egg whites and food colour; beat with electric mixer on medium speed 2 minutes. Pour into pans.

Bake as directed on box for 8- or 9-inch (20 or 23 cm) rounds. 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. Sprinkle with garnishes. Store loosely covered.

Champagne is a sparkling wine, and while many expensive champagnes are available, this is one time you can use less expensive champagne.
Sprinkle garnishes on cake just before serving to maximize sparkle and keep them from absorbing moisture and melting into frosting.
