You can use any cake recipe in the giant tins I recommend something that has a moderate crumb, anything too spongy and the cake might not be able to support it’s own weight, and anything too dense might be too rich (like a mudcake).

Standard chocolate cake recipes work fine (they are all very similar) or even packet mixes. You may need 1 1/2 packet mixes though to fill both sides evenly.

The way to decorate them that I think looks fancy is:
a) lining the inside of the tin after the cake is baked with layers of chocolate to make a chocolate mould for the giant cupcake to sit in
b) leave the bottom unfrosted

Frosting the top you can use any of the icings, cream cheese/buttercream/fresh whipped cream in your choice of colours and sprinkles!

Winnie The Pooh – why don’t you do a bumblebee theme, and do black and yellow alternating coloured circles of icing on the top of the cake. You can also hunt around on the internet for any relevant cupcake/cake toppers, or even put a small figurine on the top (non-edible) as decoration.

Hi Terri,

I know! They are always going to be ~$50 wherever you go, so I think it’s just about putting a little bit of cash aside to get it each week maybe? It’s huge for a cake tin though – but it is the best quality cake tin, very thick and sturdy. Best bet is to check on eBay – don’t forget to incorporate the postage into how cheap you might think it is, but yeah, $50 is the go.

Thanks for your comment

Coolies

I wouldn’t have thought a “giant cupcake” would still be a “cupcake”, it’s like saying a “giant mini”, but it still looks like a cupcake! I used the word “cupcake” three times in this comment, four if you count this sentence. Cupcake.
