Giant Cupcake

I have always enjoyed creating and making cakes, usually for my daughters birthday and having picked up a silicone mould for approximately £4 from Asda I decided to give the giant cupcake a go.

The mould takes a lot of ingredients (6 eggs) and because I decided I was going to use chocolate fingers around the base, this in fact took 2 packets and I didn't realise how expensive these were - luckily for me they were on offer at the Coop!

I was very impressed with how the cooked cake looked, although very concerned that because it was a silicone mould that the cake wouldn't fully come out, but to my surprise and relief it came out perfectly.  I would strongly recommend this mould, an absolute bargain.

Much to my daughters delight, you need to trim the cake to ensure that the top sits smoothly on the base, the excess cake was gone in seconds!!

I am so pleased with the end result of my giant cupcake, the look is just what I was hoping for and it was delicious too.  I can't wait to make another one.
