The mother of all cupcakes
For my birthday party this year, I made three varieties of cupcakes (vanilla bean, lemon and chocolate). For the topping, I whipped up three varieties of frosting (cream cheese, vanilla butter cream and chocolate). I laid it all out in one great, big frost-your-own, cupcake station, which was quite the hit with my friends and family. But, had I known about this giant cupcake cake mold back then, I would have been mightily torn about what direction to go with my birthday dessert (although I think that $27.95 plus shipping is a little steep for what would have probably been a single-time use). However, if I ever stumble across one of these suckers at a garage sale or thrift store, I wouldn't hesitate to snatch it up.

1The mold is an ingenious idea. I think guests that saw that would always remember the mold. Marisa, check out this link for some interesting facts about the store selling the mold http://www.google.com/products/reviews?fq=giant+cupcake+cake+mold&cid=e7aeb353ffe8d28e.

If it can't fit into a cup, is it just, you know, a cake?
3From looking at the picture of the mold, you could achieve a similar effect with an angel food pan & a steel bowl used as a pan for the top. The ONLY difference (besides the hole in the center of the lower layer) would be the lack of swirly indentations in the top, which might be a *bonus* for people who don't ice with bags. Tho' the example above doesn't necessarily look bagged....
