Product Description |
| Cupcake lovers will flip over this super-sized cupcake pan from Wilton Dimensions. Designed to create one giant confection with a sculptural top and bottom, the piece turns out a 3D cupcake that measures approximately 7-1/4 by 7-1/2 inches. The concept is simple--bake the top and bottom halves in the same pan, stick them together with icing, and decorate according to the occasion. Ridges around the bottom of the cupcake and a swirl on the top add to the finished treat's appeal and make frosting fun. Crafted from heavy-gauge cast aluminum, the pan also features a nonstick surface to simplify release and cleanup. A winning novelty gift for the frequent baker, the piece holds 10 cups of batter total and measures 15-1/2 by 8-1/4 by 3-3/4 inches. --Emily Bedard |

 BEST PAN EVER! |
| Review Date: October 3, 2008 |
| Reviewer: J. Bonavita, Boston,Ma |
Ok, sorry people who gave bad reviews..your on CRACK! This pan ROCKS!! I used the baker joy flour/oil spray and cake fell out of pan by itself. Was a bit overdone on one side but I saw later that some people cooked one side first for a while then the other. I'll probably cook the first side 5 or 10 min then fill the smaller side. Cake came out perfectly otherwise. You have to trim the ops to get a flat surface to connect the 2 pieces but even my 'normal' cakes dome so I always cut the tops to make them flat, not biggie. The best thing i can say for you is to try this recipe. I didnt want to use a 'normal' box cake because i had to transport this cake and I thought it would be too soft to stand being juggled. I didnt want to make a pound cake from scratch either. I settled on this, and you can do it with any boxed cake flavor. It makes a denser cake than a normal box but not QUITE a pound cake density either. Just right for transporting and very tasty! Hope you like the giant cupcake pan as much as I do! I used a regular cake mix, which produced six cups of batter. I poured 3 1/2 cups of batter in the "bottom" portion of the mold, and 2 cups of batter in the "top" of the cupcake.
When I use a cake mix, I use the mix with 1/3 cup softened butter, 1 cup of milk and 4 eggs.
This produces a fine, moist crumb texture, much like a pound cake. And I found this produces a better cake for this pan than following the usual ingredients called for on the back of the cake mix box.

I bought this pan for my daughters 1st Birthday and her cake was a total hit! I had no problems getting the cake out of the pan. Next time I will add a little more batter to each one. I read some other reveiws that stated the bottom cooks longer than the top, so I let the bottom cook for 10-15 mins first and then added the batter to the top. It worked great! This is a fun cake that can be made at anytime of year! I love it!!!! :)

| This is a really great product. I tried it as soon as i got it in the mail. I had read other reviews and hints before hand, so i knew what to do to make it come out great. Bake only one side at a time. Fill the other side with water to balance the heat. It came out just wonderful.. What a wonderful surprse for my friend on her birthday! I can't wait to use it again. OH.. and the kids had a blast helping to decorate it. |
Love this CupCake Pan!

I purchased this pan for my 4yr olds birthday. I've made two test runs, ahead of time. Each time the cake popped right out, here's what I did that worked:
I followed the manufacturers recommendations to wash with soap and warm water, then I used Bakers Joy w/flour already in the spray very generously. The first time I freely filled each pan & ended up w/one side too short and one too full. On my second run, I found measuring about 4 cups into each side was just right, a little over on each side, easily cut off with a bread knife. I baked according to the boxed time for bundt cake and that seems to be the correct temp & time.
One concern, bakes unevenly, but most of that was cut out when evening out the cake.
I do wish Wilton would have provided tips, it's almost as if they didn't test their product.
Top Quality - Love this Cupcake Pan! |

I used this giant cupcake mold for my son's first birthday cake. It was really fun to make and decorate, and turned out great! I just used a store-bought cake mix (chocolate) and the cake itself turned out fine. Although the top of the cupcake does cook faster than the bottom, it's not so much faster that there was any noticeable dryness in the texture. I filled the top portion 3/4 full and the bottom 1/2 full with batter. The one downside to the pan is that the center of each portion really balloons up with steam during cooking, so to put it together, you will have to even off each part by cutting some off. On the bright side, you'll get a little snack out of it!
For decoration, I made a large batch of cream-cheese frosting and colored 1/3 green, 1/3 blue, and left 1/3 white. I piped on the green and white, alternating, on the bottom half. This made it look like a paper cupcake pan liner. I piped the blue frosting on the top in a giant swirl. I used Necco wafers to decorate the top, like giant sprinkles. Mike and Ike's would also be good here, like giant jimmies. Final touch--a large size candle to keep with the proportions. (see the customer images for the final result!)
Everyone was really impressed with the cake and one person even asked where I'd bought it! I would definitely make this cake for other kids' events, or for friends who love cupcakes. Very fun! |
