We had to share this idea with you for an easy and cost-effective way of creating a stunning (albeit informal) wedding cake for your Wedding reception. This would look great topping a tower of smaller cupcakes, but even better still, if you have one on each table for guests although you'll have to nominate someone to be 'mum' and cut it when the time is right. Just think of the fun you could have choosing the right sprinkles, icing colours and decorations and flowers to dress them up to suit your theme and style. The one shown here was made by YummyMummyCupcakes where you can order your own bespoke Giant Cupcake from £27.50.Okay, so these are very relaxed and may not suit the Traditionalists among you, but honestly, they will instantly will transport your guests back to their childhoods with all that frosting...plenty of napkins (or finger bowls if you're feeling squeamish!) will be appreciated.
I actually made one of these fabulous massive cupcakes myself for my son's 1st birthday - which you can see right (a dark Devil's Food chocolate cake with vanilla buttercream complete with cowboys) and they're really so dead simple to make. The clever tin makes the top and bottom in two sections which you then just sandwich together with your choice of icing, but good old buttercream is certainly the way to go here how ever fancy you decide to dress them. Take my (greedy) word for it! You can buy the tin online here.
