The Perfect Giant Cupcake

The "Finding Nemo" Cupcake Cake.

This cake recipe is the German Chocolate Layer Cake Recipe from "Meals in Heels". 

I used a giant cupcake pan to create this great shape. Very easy, the only tip is to use a dense cake when using this tin because one side is thicker than the other. To prevent the muffin top from burning put foil over the top when you want the slow down the cooking. Just keep an eye on it.

 Icing the cake, I took a short cut. I used bought royal icing. I dyed a section of the icing blue to create the stars. If the icing is too cold, microwave it for 10 seconds before you roll it out.

 Decorating the base of the cupcake to resemble a traditional cupcake case.

 Adding the "muffin top". I iced this with butter cream icing that I dyed blue!
