MrsLynnyD- giant cup cake

MarSamWhitney

So I got the pan at Kohls..it came in a pink box, did yours?

I only ask because I did the 4 cups of batter in the bottom part, and the remainder for the top of the cup cake.  The bottom part came out huge and the top small. I had to trim the bottom to get it to look like a cup cake.

Did this happen for you? I had wanted to make a test one before I handed it over to my mom for Whitneys smash cake.

I pretty much just followed the recipe on the back of 1 cake mix, the pudding, milk and eggs, etc..

Mine is made by Wilton - it didn't come in a box but had the cardboard wrapping around it like ribbon on a gift box. 

I didn't see anywhere about how much to put in each side so I eyeballed it and tried to make it so it looked even. I think my top started to burn some because the top is smaller and cooked faster. Next time I'll make sure there is more batter height-wise in the top than in the bottom. Also, someone on here suggested cooking it at 25 degrees less than what the box calls for.

I made it according to the cake box instructions and didn't really pay much mind to the timer - just kept setting my timer for 10 mintues, checking and then another 10 until it was done. I have no idea how long it cooked for.

I also had to trim it so that it was level.  

I will say that I used an entire can of icing on the top (just a small amount in the middle to hold it together). I think that makes the top look bigger and like a cupcake.

I want to see pics.

I followed some wacky directions, i'll PIP in a minute.  Its ok,  I guess. I think I will just have to eyeball it next time.
