Thank you !!!! Really appreciate that ...I'll give it a go and let you know how it turns out lol x

Found this one if its any help ?

For the giant cupcake:

* 170g (6oz) butter
* 170g (6oz) caster sugar
* 170g (6oz) self-raising flour
* 3 eggs
* 1tsp baking powder

For the butter icing:

* 500g (18oz) icing sugar
* 113g (4oz) butter
* Food colouring of your choice

You'll also need:

* Giant cupcake tin

Method

1. Preheat the oven to 160ºC/325ºF/gas mark 3.
2. Mix the butter, caster sugar, flour, baking powder and eggs then whisk until light and fluffy.
3. Pour the cake mixture into the cupcake tin and bake for 1 hour.
4. For the butter icing: Mix the butter for 1 min in a bowl, add the food colouring then bit by bit, then add the icing sugar and mix until you can hold the spoon upside down without it falling off.
5. Add icing flowers and some edible glitter.

iv seen them on the adverts, and im sure one of my friends on fb has one, but i cant remember who "frowns"

good luck lol,

It's quite good Gwyn because it has a lid which creates a natural dip in the middle of the cake so you can fill it with cream or butter icing etc before you put the *top* on it...but I'm liking your idea of a custard middle !!! I'll def try that ! Thank you !x

Ah...Happy memories of making special cakes for my 3....

Sounds fun, but I would need a recipe to get the mix right, otherwise I would end up with a 'soggy middle' and have to cover it with custard !

Hope someone can help.

Anyone ever used one? It's a cupcake that is supposed to be 25 times the size of a usual cupcake.

Got one at the market today for a bargain price...but sadly no recipes and only very basic instructions. Been looking online but can only seem to find recipes that start with *two cake mixes* ...well I make my own.....and judging from the size of it two cakes mixes of the size I bake may be a bit too much?

Got a feeling I may be baking a very wonky cake if I'm left to my own devices lol x
