What's better than a cupcake!? A GIANT cupcake obviously!

So with another occasion at work I found myself back in the kitchen. This time baking a giant cupcake, there are a multitude of moulds available, both tin and silicon. Mine is a silicon one. 

Filling the mould with one and a half times my standard cupcake mix and popping in the oven at gas mark four for about 50-60 minutes. 

Remove from oven and allow to cool before removing from mould. 

I then thought I'd add an extra layer to my cake by painting melted dark chocolate in the base mould to creat a giant cupcake case. 

This took two layers to make and sometime to set in the fridge. 

And voila the cake sits comfortably inside. Then I used chocolate butter cream to sandwich the layers together and covered in vanilla butter cream. 

It was at this point that I realised that the cake was now too big for me to transport easily to work, but luckily I found a suitable cardboard box. Here's hoping yours won't create such a problem. 

Covering with sprinkles to finish. Then the fun part. Sawing through the chocolate case!! 

Enjoy

Happy Baking
