Giant Cupcake with Rosette Minis

Giant Cupcake and Minis

I’m perusing my photo library and finding all sorts of baked goods that I haven’t shared. Back in ’09 I acquired one of those beautiful Wilton giant cupcake pans.

Wilton Giant Cupcake Pan

A family friend was having back surgery so I pulled out 2 carrot cake mixes and a couple tubs of cream cheese frosting and gave it a shot.

It’s been a while, but if I recall correctly, I had to bake several minutes beyond the cake mix instructions. I followed the instructions that came with the pan, but kept my eye on the cake toward the end.

The pan hold just slightly over one cake mix, so I made two cake mixes, filled the giant cupcake pan appropriately, and made cupcakes with the rest.

Next time I’ll stop icing a little sooner, way before I reach the “liner”.

Rosette Cupcake

Aren’t these rosette tops on the mini (normal sized) cupcakes just the cutest? I love using a 1M tip to make this rosette top. A nice variation to the typical 1M swirl we see.

Have you used the giant cupcake pan? I’d love to see it – link to your creation in the comments!
