This was soooo Amazing!
There are a few things I will do different next time. One is don't follow the directions completely. The directions say to put 4 1/2 cups of the cake mix in the left side top of the cupcake I would shorten that by not measuring and just pouring the cake about 1" from the top of the rim. The rest obviously in the right side.
After taking it out of the pans as you can tell the right is the bottom of the cupcake and the other is the top, of course, you have to level the bottom of the top piece. Wheeee! did I confuse you!
After leveling the bottom of the cake covered it with a layer of frosting to bond the top and bottom together. You have to see it to believe it....this cupcake is the biggest I have seen. I also need to tell you it took 60 minutes for this baby to cook. Although it's huge you can't believe it serves 10 to 12 people.
Next comes the fun of decorating!
I used canned frosting for this project...and I also ate the slice that leveled off the bottom. Of course I frosted the slice first. Who can cook chocolate without eating it? Wow...it was definitely an aw moment when I bite into the slice. I applied the frosting with a spoon dabbing it on the entire top. Then I took the spoon and evened it out. After that I took the same spoon started at the top and followed the swirls.
This is what it looks like after putting on all the frosting following the swirls. I then added multi-color sprinkles and a few larges candy pastel dots.
Walla! the top completed photo is the finished product. Isn't it just too cute?
