Number shaped cupcake tins?

babymillie · January 2012

Do these exist? I want to make cupcakes for LO's bday in the shape of a 1. Can't find them anywhere!

I've never seen those...

Alternative suggestions - number shaped cookies (they sell number cutters).

If you're really ambitious you could get a mini loaf pan (rectangles) and bake mini cakes then cut them into ones. Frosting would be a major pain in the a$$ though (as would if you found 1 shaped tins) - unless you have really really dense cake or really watery frosting the cake will fall apart.

I'd probably go with cookies.

If you cant find them, you could make a sheet cake and use a cookie cutter or knife to cut out 1s and decorate them.

MrsRosie:

Would you frost all the way around each one? Seems like they'd be kind of ugly on the sides since there'd be no way to use a wrapper.

ETA: I totally don't mean it's a stupid idea, I just can't picture how it would work.

thanks all. those ideas are great but entirely too labor intensive for me (hah). I was hoping the cupcakes existed b/c if the tins exist, then 1 shaped wrappers exist. His bday is around Valentine's day; maybe I'll do hearts. OR IS THAT TOO GIRLY?

You could put rainbows and butterflies on them and he wouldn't know the difference. The question is if your friends will judge you? As long as they taste good, i wouldn't.

If it were my kid? I'd just do regular cupcakes and draw ones on them with frosting. OR frost them plainly and make #1 flags to stick in them with toothpicks. I can help you with that if you want. https://www.made-by-rae.com/2011/08/tutorial-make-cupcake-flags/

Can you arrange them in the shape of a one with cute toppers? Kind of like I did for my birthday in this picture

It would work, but I would seriously take the easy cupcake route and lay them out in the shape of a one. Making toppers would be super easy.

You're not lazy, you just have a kid. I went way overboard with DD's birthday - I made the rainbow layered cupcakes that were all over the web for a while. .. Barely anyone noticed. I'm totally doing way less this year so that I won't be frazzled and might actually enjoy the party.

I have a serious bee in my bonnet now, though.
