Giant cupcake

[princesscupcakemummyb]

im going to have a go at making one today i was wondering for those who have made one before what did you put it on frosting/decoration wise

I use fondant on the bottom and buttercream on the top. I avoid chocolate on the top or it looks like a giant poo!

I have been looking at those, and I really wonder what the appeal is. Is it not just a whole lot of "sponge" and a layer of icing on top?

Or do you cut layers and add fillings inside? To me they just look extremely boring, unless they are filled with yummy stuff! Please put me straight?

I made a chocolate cupcake case for the bottom and put the cupcake inside it and then used butter cream inside the cupcake and fondant and buttercream on the top.

I´ve also made a bucket full of sand with a handle and a spade from the same mould which was fun.

HTH

QuintessentialOldDear I always cut mine and fill with butter cream, strawberries, jam, chocolate / fruit mouse or gaunche (sp) anything I can think of!

Ah, that sounds good!

great ideas all and lol @ blueberryboybait i was wondering that myself about the inside and filling it ive never made it before so this shall be fun seeing what it turns out like the kids are eager to help haha
