Giant Cupcake Cake
This giant cupcake cake is made with the a Wilton cupcake shaped pan
but we've given directions below on how to make it without one. It
is a great cake to decorate because it is so versatile. You can create
this for a kid of any age, boy or girl, old or young. Frost a favorite
color or lots of different colors.
This cake is decorated with large stars around
the top and decorated with colored candies. The bottom is left as is
without frosting for a more cupcake liner look.

Using the Giant Cupcake Pan
Prepare a double batch of cake batter or two box mixes. You will have a
little leftover to use for cupcakes. Fill the giant cupcake pan about
2/3 full. Bake 40-50 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the middle
comes out clean.
Place on a cooling rack in the pan for 30 minutes. Turn upside down on
the cooling rack and allow to cool several hours or overnight before
adding a crumb coat and decorating. Trim off edges if necessary.
Crumb
coat following these frosting directions. Allow to sit several
hours then decorate as you choose.
Free Cake Decorating Ideas:
- Frost your giant cupcake and add sprinkles or round candies on
the top.
- Frost the bottom with vertical lines to look like a real cupcake
liner.
- See Wilton's decorating instructions for the cupcake pan.
- You can make your own giant cupcake by layering 3-4 circle
layers. Carve the sides narrower at the bottom in the shape of your
cupcake. Add a round cake baked in a ball pan or batter bowl on the
top. Decorate.
