Cupcake kick


Lately I've been on a bit of a cupcake kick.  I love eating them.  And I am immediately attracted to anything with cupcakes on it.  I've even made brownies in a cupcake tin, just so they'd be little browniecakes!  Anyhow, I found this super sweet cake tin online, and I love it!  I think it would be so fun to make a cake shaped like a giant cupcake.  



Now, if only I could figure out how to do it without a fancy, $35 cake pan . . . :)  Perhaps I should seek help from my friend.  We have made some great cakes together in the past.  For example, check out these 'penny cakes' we made for the 2006 2nd annual Abraham Lincoln birthday bash.  


And, she has experience working with cupcakes.  See?  This is Abe's famous top hat, made out of cupcakes for the 2007 bash.

Has anyone else make any awesome cakes without the help of a fancy cake tin?  Please do share!

Oh, I do love that tin! I, too, really love cupcakes. Kyle calls me "Cupcake" from time to time. I have been eyeing some of the jumbo muffin tins so that I can make big ones.

I totally ran across that pan not too long ago and i thought it was AWESOME!:)
I often make cakes in my pyrex bowls and then cut off the top so they are nice and round. In fact I made one last night!
not quite a cupcake but something other that just a square cake.
