Cupcake lovers will flip over this super-sized cupcake pan from Wilton Dimensions. Designed to create one giant confection with a sculptural top and bottom, the piece turns out a 3D cupcake that measures approximately 7-1/4 by 7-1/2 inches. The concept is simple--bake the top and bottom halves in the same pan, stick them together with icing, and decorate according to the occasion. Ridges around the bottom of the cupcake and a swirl on the top add to the finished treat's appeal and make frosting fun. Crafted from heavy-gauge cast aluminum, the pan also features a nonstick surface to simplify release and cleanup. A winning novelty gift for the frequent baker, the piece holds 10 cups of batter total and measures 15-1/2 by 8-1/4 by 3-3/4 inches. --Emily Bedard
Comment: This pan makes such a cute cake and is so fun to decorate! One tip that was given to me before I used it is to fill the bottom first and put it in the oven for 5 minutes and then take it back out and fill the top and put it back in the oven until finished, as the bottom is much denser than the top.

Summary: 1st time came out great 2010-07-24
Comment: ideally it would be nice the bottom and tops were not on the same pan, but after reading reviews i cooked the bottom in the middle of the oven and the top on the side and it came out well. sprayed it with baking pam and it didn't stick at all.

Summary: how do you improve a cupcake? oh yeah, make it BIGGER 2010-05-02
Comment: i love this pan. it's well made and i love that's it's non stick. i totally agree with some of the other reviewers when they say you'll need to practice a few times to get it just right. my first cake was cute but unimpressive. i didn't ice it or level it properly so it was a little lopsided. plus, the top was overcooked since it bakes so much faster than the bottom because it's shallow (this can be easily remedied by starting the bottom first then the top a little later). i now pour melted chocolate in the bottom pan to make the "paper wrapper." i distribute it evenly and then leave in the fridge to harden. it looks really nice in the finished product and makes a world of difference. it's extra work but worth it.

Summary: Fantastic - but time consuming 2010-04-22
Comment: This is a good product. It is well made, and it actually DOES come with directions - not sure what those other folks received. However, if you don't anticipate at least a 4 hour cake project, do not buy this product. The bake time alone is 70 minutes, but the finished product was DELISH! The recipe that is included: chocolate chip pound cake, is absolutely decadent, but it is a 'from scratch' recipe and so took a bit more time. For the decorating part, you MUST have decorator tips/bags or a Wilton decorator gun. I used both and the gun fared much better with smoother control. TIP: if using canned icing, slightly chill before using otherwise it will fall right off of the cake. I topped with jumbo confetti sprinkles to cover the oops spots (I'm sure it will get easier with practice) and it turned out really cute. Everyone was really impressed! I can see how a boxed mix would be too soft and so toughening up with use of dry pudding mix or an extra egg as one review suggested would be in order.
