so i saw this awesome giant cupcake pan and i HAD to get it edit: i saw this cupcake pan on a u.s blog and spent ages looking for an aussie supplier. i usually buy my cake pans from Cake Deco but i just happened to find the pan on ebay from the EXACT same company using an ebay store! and half the things i bought from them were cheaper! bah go forth kids! Cake Deco Ebay check back every now and then cos atm the cupcake pan aint there

ive attempted creating a giant cupcake by carving a cake which kinda didnt work out cos the crumbs went everywhere so thought id give this a go… ready?

grease the pan with HEAPS of cooking oil or your cake will become stuck and youll lose the details.

i was reading some forums where ppl have said the top bit of the cupcake bakes faster than the bottom because its smaller and theres less batter in there so i put another pan half filled with water under the lid

level the cakes…

dig a hole…

and fill with cream! mmm cream and i chucked in some mango and peach

heh reassemble

and ice away! i let the base un-iced so you could see the details of the ridges lol this pan is awesome and ill most likely use it to make jelly too…

That’s so cool! I’d love to see a photograph of the finished cupcake against something that we can measure its size with, just to emphasise how big it is. :)
— Katie May 29, 06:35 PM #I’ve just got that pan too! What cake recipe did you use? Was it the one that came with the tin? Cos mine didn’t turn out as nice as yours!
— Mel May 29, 06:49 PM #this is damn cool! i miss your cupcakes!
— nadnut May 29, 07:59 PM #Looks so cool! Who are the lucky people who got to tuck in to it? You should’ve taken a picture of it next to a normal sized cupcake, for comparison! :)
— Y May 29, 09:06 PM #katherine: hey dude its cute hey! i got it off ebay ill edit my post to chuck up a link for ya =D
— chocolatesuze May 29, 10:55 PM #katie: but alas we ate it! but the mix i used for the giant pan was enough for 24 normal sized cupcakes
mel: i used a normal butter pound cake recipe cos i didnt realli trust the recipe that came with it hehe but yeah buttercake works best cos its denser
nadnut: heh come for another visit dude!
y: lol uni ppl ate half and then i gave the rest to the staff at rise aw no time for the normal sized cupcake comparison!
Muahaha.. that must have tasted real good coz the Cream+Mango+Peaches sounds awfully delicious ;)

— Albany Jane May 30, 12:26 AM #oho that cone-like structure is the TOP! What a waste of the real top of the cupcake! To be honest I thought the ‘cone’ looked more like a nipple in the first picture….. lol hehe
— Tammy May 30, 02:40 PM #That looks great. I’m going to try using mine again. I think they’re so much fun to decorate!
— Lorraine E May 30, 08:25 PM #You’ve inspired me to drag mine out…it’s still sitting in the cupboard unused!
