James and the giant cupcake

by Stefani Pollack, Posted Nov 6th 2008 @ 5:30PM

Cupcakes are single-serving personal desserts that you don't have to share with anyone else - at least that used to be the case. Wilton has created a cake pan designed to look like a cupcake. The way it works is that there are two cake molds: one for the top of the cupcake and one for the base cake. James made two of these giant cupcakes on Halloween and they fed 30 people!

The "cupcakes" sure do look adorable, but I like my personal, little cupcake just for me - thank you very much. If we are going to call these cupcakes at all, we should definitely be clear that they are double D cups.

Should you want to try to make them, first buy the Wilton cupcake pan. Then, check out James for some great baking tips.

A friend of mine made one of these for Halloween as well, and made the bottom half with chocolate cake and the top half with red velvet cake. Very yummy!
