In a small pan on the stove, add 1 cup of champagne and 1 cup of sugar and stir them together. Bring to a boil and boil for about a minute and then turn down to simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow the syrup to cool completely before using. Can be stored in the fridge in a sealed jar for about 2 weeks. Add to cakes, frosting, smoothies, drinks, etc.
To Make Cream Cheese Spread:
