valentine's day How to make a giant cupcake with Wilton's Giant Cupcake Pan

Wilton has a post up about using their giant cupcake pan to make cupcake cakes, aka giant cupcakes. A snippet:

I’m all about being economical so don’t throw away the leftover cake! It can be used in parfaits or topped with ice cream and chocolate sauce.

After the layers are leveled, add a thin layer of icing on the top part of the bottom half of the cake. This acts as an adhesive that holds the two pieces in place. Stack the top cake on top of the bottom piece. Feel free to trim any excess cake off.

Giant Cupcake PanAs an alternative, you could flip the bottom half of the cake over so it is upside down (prior to attaching the top layer) to make a fantasy fairy house or dog house.
