Amazon.com Review
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

 Cute, but small and time consuming February 3, 2010
A. Johnson (Idaho)
This cupcake turns out cute, and makes a great gift, although, beware, this isn't a good cake for a group (a party for instance). The finished product is certainly not big enough for more than 3-4 people to share, at most. And, much as I've tried, I cannot cook both sides at once. I've tried various depths of batter on either side with the same result. No matter how much batter you put in, because of the shape, the top of the cake cooks faster than the bottom does. So, if you cook both together, in order to have your bottom cook all the way through, your top burns. Or your top is perfect and the bottom not cooked in the middle. So, I have to cook each side individually, making for a rather time consuming process. Or maybe I need to buy another pan so one can cook the top and the other the bottom...

Instructions could have been clearer. No instruction on how to clean
item. And no instructions as to how much mix to add to pan.
Cute cake but not without its flaws January 5, 2010

I knew this cake pan would be a huge hit the moment I saw it on here with all the examples and the limitless possibilities. First the good, the cake is adorable even before you add anything to it, it is a large cake that feeds about 6-8 people -if everyone gets a generous slice ;) Since a giant cupcake is always a hit with kids you can make it to celebrate almost any occasion or holiday. You must use a grease to get the cake out but I am not deducting any points from this as anyone who has tried to get cakes out knows if just goes much smoother if you use a cake release agent. We use the wilton cake release and have had no problems getting cakes out. I was worried about getting the top of the cupcake out without mauling it so we used the cake release freely. Once the cake was done and cooled for a few min it came right out and hld its shape. Now onto the cons of the cake pan. First is it takes about 1 1/2 box cakes so the cook time is around 70 min. Not a big deal just make sure you allow that into your schedule. The other thing I wasn't wild about was when you cut the cake it cuts long pieces that makes it difficult to get icing on more than just the top small part of the cake. We over came this by leaving a bowl of icing next to where the cake was served so someone who wanted to add icing could. Since you will have cake batter left it is easy to make cupcakes to go along with the large cake to help make sure you have enough cake to go around. In my case I saved those for my 4 yr old daughter to decorate and she had a blast piping on icing and being a part of decorating. All in all this is a cute cake pan and was a huge hit. Since we made homemade icing it didn't hold the piping as well as I would have liked but that has more to do with not allowing the icing to chill that the cake pan, I just wanted to add that so one would have better results when piping on icing than we did.
 So much fun! December 28, 2009

This is such a fun and easy cake to make! I followed the previous reviewers who recommended filling both sides of the pan 2/3 full and baking the bottom first for 15 minutes, then adding the top and baking both for another 30 minutes. I used Wilton Cake Release (you HAVE to use this for any shaped pan, IMO) and both pieces slid out after 15 minutes of cooling. Not a crumb in the pan. I didn't decorate the bottom, but can definitely see that you would want to do this first before assembling the top. Used the Wilton 1M tip to pip giant rosettes and stars on the top. Absolutely beautiful and unbelievably easy. I used two boxes of mix and used the leftover batter to make regular cupcakes to surround the giant one with. Wish I'd had an occasion to show it off for, but just made it on a whim to see how it worked. Definitely recommend for something fun, easy and different!
 Ok but definitely needs directions December 17, 2009

A few pointers...
1. I didn't like that everyone else was approximating their numbers, so here are mine exactly:
- 325 degrees, the entire bake time
- When spraying the container, I made the mistake of spraying the whole thing BEFORE the top went in. Remember to only spray the bottom, then after baking it (see next bullet) spray the TOP.
- 12 minutes just the bottom piece
- I then added the top. 67 minutes = enough time to get the soft inside and not too hard outside.
2. I used 2 cake boxes, and took note of which is denser (I had devil's food and funfetti, so I used the devil's food for the base). When finished, I had enough for 12 cupcakes in addition to the large cupcake.
3. I filled the batter up to the last portion of the spiral for the top, and about 1 inch in for the bottom.
Hope this helps!!!
