Wilton Dimensions Large Cupcake Pan

Very Cute Cake!!

I made this cake for my 2 year old's birthday. It was really cute and everyone loved it. Plenty of cake to go around because I made cupcakes too! Only problem was getting it out of the pan. Not easy to put a knife in around the edges because they are not straight, so when it came out, it wasn't perfect. However...still very cute and I will use it again and again!

Very fun cake mold!

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!

Love it!

I bought this last night and made it for my girl's night. I used boxed cake mix and used a little more than half for the bottom, and the rest for the top. I do agree that the top cooks faster than the bottom, but it came out just fine. I had absolutely no problem getting the cake out of the pan. I greased VERY well because I didn't want it to stick, then because there were so many crevases that I could have missed, I sprayed it with cooking spray. I baked it for probably 40 minutes, checking on it after 30 minutes. I did have to cut the top and bottom to make it flat so it was easier to put together, but that was no problem at all. Cakes rise that's what happens! It came out so cute and I'm so happy I got it!

Fantastic fun pan!

We had seen this pan advertised in several catalogs and thought it would be great for our sons birthday... We tested it out with some friends and it was a huge hit! The pan is very well made and worked like a charm. The only thing we've learned is that you will need to cook the cake mix a bit longer than you might normally to ensure it is done throughout. We will definitely be making several of these for our sons birthday party!

Easy!!

Did a test cake before attempting to present it to the public. Used 1 1/2 pre-mix boxes of cake. Sprayed Pam to grease. Filled both sides, leaving 1" from top. Baked @ 325 for 60 mins. Let totally cool. Flipped pan and they both slide out. Trimmed the excess so the top would lay flat on the bottom. Layer a THICK level of whatever your putting between the 2 layers. I had a decent layer, but when I ate a slice, the larger bottom portion of cake over powered the frosting layer I had and could barely taste it. Then threw a layer of frosting on the top! EASY! Im looking forward to putting time into decorating nicely. As far as slicing...I sliced quickly, with a very long knife. I sliced like I would a normal round cake. Have plates VERY close and ready to catch the pieces!! I posted a pic. Not half bad for not trying too hard!!
