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.
