Pff.....a little while back my art student cousin started asking me weird cake and icing questions. Turns out she was making a cupcake large enough for her and 2 of her classmates to sit in and pick at for an art show. Can't seem to find any pictures, but THAT was a giant cupcake ;)

P.S. It was a lot of 9x13 cakes stacked, iced on top with "shortening-cream"

To answer your question, it is no longer a "cupcake" when it is no longer cooked in a cup. :lol:

But seriously, looks sweet. I say we, as a forum, get in the Guiness book of world records for the largest "cupcake" ever made......






And EATEN! LOL!

I just worked at a cupcakery earlier this year and we offered the giant cupcake. It became my enemy. They 2 sides weren't done at the same time, so we had to use one pan for each part of the cupcake. It was a pain to decorate, even after we developed a system. You have to be SO careful. If the botom part cracks at all, you're dead. We filled the inside a bit so the proprortions are worth 30 bucks.

Good to know I'll never have to bake one of those again. I was about to kill myself. Cupcakes make me want to kill myself.

I think I don't understand the point of it.

A cupcake, at base, is a sample of the cake-makers art. That was it's orginal purpose. Once you start expanding it it's no longer a cupcake, IMO. It's just a cake with a weird shape.
