How to Make Cupcake Cakes

  1. Mix your cake batter together. Pour batter into cupcake tins. Try to add the same amount in each cupcake, about 2/3 full. This allows your cupcakes to come out evenly. If needed you can always trim the top off a cupcake if it is taller than others.
  2. Bake your cupcakes and allow them to cool.
  3. Arrange your cupcakes in a pattern that you'd like on a cake board. You may want to add a dot of frosting on the bottom of each cupcake to keep it secure.
  4. Frost your cupcakes dragging your spatula from one cupcake to another. You'll want to be generous with the frosting.
  5. Decorate in the theme and design you'd like!

Tips on designing your cupcake cakes.

  • You can design your cupcakes in more of a detailed fashion such as into a crown and finish decorating with a few accents or candies.
