Wilton Giant Cupcake Tin

No your eyes don’t deceive you... Yes this is the best cake tin you will ever see. The Giant Cupcake Tin is not only a Giant tin but produces a cupcake the correct size for a peckish Giant. How convenient!

There is always a strange appeal for miniature versions of things or huge versions of things. Perhaps it’s the kid in us (imagine you have been mysteriously shrunk and a regular cupcake is now gigantic to you...) that finds these distorted dimensions so amusing.

Whether it is a birthday party, wedding, christening or swanky dinner party, the Giant Cupcake brings a little fun and originality to the occasion cake.  The tin creates a mind-blowing 3D cupcake for the whole party to share! It’s totally simple to use, simply fill both sides of the tin with cake mix (try out our recipe below) bake in the oven, turn out and cool then assemble top and bottom cake halves with a thin layer of icing. All you need to add is some imaginative decoration. Let your imagination go wild, stock up on sugar craft and see what you can create (and don’t forget to send us your photos).

The Giant Cupcake Tin is the invention of American Bake Ware specialists Wilton. It’s professional weight cast aluminium for exceptional detail and has a premium non-stick surface for easy release and cleanup.
