I hope Snoop doesn’t mind me paraphrasing him, but he said it so well. “Ain’t no fun” when your giant cupcake isn’t a success. This is attempt two. I used the recipe supplied. I baked for for the recommended time…and then some. The centre didn’t ever bake all the way through while the edges just getting darker and darker, and I guess just plain old burnt in the end. I gave up trying to bake it. Perhaps I will try another day. Or perhaps cupcakes were never meant to be giant!
I too made this recently and found it to be equally frustrating. I went with a vegan cake recipe but ran into the same types of problems.
It eventually came together but I had to play with it a bit to get it to look decent. Also, lopsided and top heavy. I’m not sure how much use I’ll get out of this pan but, very cute idea =)

It claims you fill and bake the “bottom” for a bit before filling the “top” and baking for the remaining time
Thanks MizzAdamz, I will have to give this a try again!
