Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Wilton 2105-5038 Giant Cupcake Pan
Customer Review: Easy!!
Summary: 4 Stars
Did a test cake before attempting to present it to the public. Used 1 1/2 pre-mix boxes of cake. Sprayed Pam to grease. Filled both sides, leaving 1" from top. Baked @ 325 for 60 mins. Let totally cool. Flipped pan and they both slide out. Trimmed the excess so the top would lay flat on the bottom. Layer a THICK level of whatever your putting between the 2 layers. I had a decent layer, but when I ate a slice, the larger bottom portion of cake over powered the frosting layer I had and could barely taste it. Then threw a layer of frosting on the top! EASY! Im looking forward to putting time into decorating nicely. As far as slicing...I sliced quickly, with a very long knife. I sliced like I would a normal round cake. Have plates VERY close and ready to catch the pieces!! I posted a pic. Not half bad for not trying too hard!!Customer Review: Cute, but small and time consuming
Summary: 4 Stars
This cupcake turns out cute, and makes a great gift, although, beware, this isn't a good cake for a group (a party for instance). The finished product is certainly not big enough for more than 3-4 people to share, at most. And, much as I've tried, I cannot cook both sides at once. I've tried various depths of batter on either side with the same result. No matter how much batter you put in, because of the shape, the top of the cake cooks faster than the bottom does. So, if you cook both together, in order to have your bottom cook all the way through, your top burns. Or your top is perfect and the bottom not cooked in the middle. So, I have to cook each side individually, making for a rather time consuming process. Or maybe I need to buy another pan so one can cook the top and the other the bottom...Customer Review: Giant Cup Cake Pan
Summary: 2 Stars
I recently purchased the Wilton Dimensions Large Cupcake Pan. While my three cakes looked great after I had frosted them, I had difficulty with each one during the baking process. One side of the pan is quite deep, so the batter on that side does not cook in the center. The other side is more shallow, causing it to become over-done while trying to get the center of the deeper pan done. The cakes were also not too easy to put on any kind of party plate, since the cakes were so tall, that they hung over the sides of any plate I tried.
The deeper pan should have had a post in the middle, like an angel food pan, so the batter would have gotten done. I will try again, and will attempt to somehow get the shallow cake out of the pan, and then continue cooking the deeper side.
Customer Review: amounts really count

just made the giant cupcake for my daughters bday. she loved it and she is almost fifty years old.
be careful not to over fill the pan with batter. i put to much on botton part and had a hard ridge that had to be cut off. i kept the frosting very simple. frosted the botton with chocolate frosting also used chocolate to hold top and botton together. do the bottom before setting top on bottom. then i used white frosting with sprinkles for the top. used the white, because my experience shows sprinkles do not show well in choco.
i used two cakes mixes. got cupcake and a dozen reg. cupcakes from the batter
i sprayed pan with pam and it just feel out of pan. it was simple to do. gonna get a bit fancy with the decorations on the next one
Customer Review: how do you improve a cupcake? oh yeah, make it BIGGER

i love this pan. it's well made and i love that's it's non stick. i totally agree with some of the other reviewers when they say you'll need to practice a few times to get it just right. my first cake was cute but unimpressive. i didn't ice it or level it properly so it was a little lopsided. plus, the top was overcooked since it bakes so much faster than the bottom because it's shallow (this can be easily remedied by starting the bottom first then the top a little later). i now pour melted chocolate in the bottom pan to make the "paper wrapper." i distribute it evenly and then leave in the fridge to harden. it looks really nice in the finished product and makes a world of difference. it's extra work but worth it.
