Cupcake Cake Tray

Was pleased with the quality of the tin when it arrived - it's solid. I buttered and floured the tin and the cake has popped out perfectly both time I've used it, using a 6 egg madeira cake and a 6 egg chocolate cake recipe - both filled the tin perfectly, baked for about an hour with both recipes. One slight issue I found however was that the pointy top of the cupcake slipped in between the spars on my oven shelf, so the first cake I made was slightly lopsided. Put it on a cookie sheet next time and it was fine. The 2 pieces aren't an exact fit, icing fixed that though.

Can I just say how much I love not only my new tin but also my new cake release! I have just tried out the giant cupcake with a 6 egg victoria sponge recipe, which was a perfect fit. The cake release made sure it slid straight out of the tin, in the perfect shape of the tin, with not a crumb left behind. Very impressed with both.

i have used the cake tin twice now and i think its fantastic! by using the cake release, the cake slips out really easily. only one thing though..is there any chance of a box suitable for carrying & lifting the cake out??

I bought this following unsuccessful attempts with a silicone mould & wish now that I'd bought this first. The cake is quite large & the recipe I use is an 8 egg one, (double my usual for a 7" round sandwich). It looks really impressive when decorated with frosting & sugarpaste flowers. The finished cake is nice to give as a gift. However one word of warning, after the top section sticking (very frustrating at having to discard it), I tried using cake release & this is much better than the spray-on oil you can get for preventing cakes sticking to the tin. Excellent product & lovely quality.

I really didn't like the recipe for this cake pan but it is a very well made product. Now I have adjusted it to a five egg mixture it is very moist and requires less cooking time. Only one major problem exists for me is that there are absolutely no products to carry it. I have made this cake four times now and each time have spent more stressing time working out how to transport it. Please could you sell cake carriers that support your products!!!

I bought this just because I couldn't resist it and although it was a bit of an extravegance for just my husband and I, it's a quality tin that will last a lifetime. I have two niggles: 1. The recipe on the packaging is nowhere near enough to fill both sides. You need a cake mix that uses 9 eggs! 2. The top part of the cake is cooked quicker than the bottom part and to avoid getting the top overbaked, you'll need to try and tip the top part out onto a cooling rack and return the half baked bottom section to the oven. I've made this giant cupcake twice and have found that both these niggles were applicable each time. A fantastic, quality product none the less.

Having looked at this for absolutely ages a friend and i decided to share one.I had first go last night and it is fantastic.The recipe is a bit odd but once you get around that it works well.I used cake release and the cake just dropped out.I decorated the base with a thin layer of chocolate butter cream and then white and chocolate fingers stood up all the way round,then the top with more butter cream and white and chocolate buttons.Looks brilliant and the recipient is thrilled.I wish more people would say how they decorated this cake to give ideas as this came from an earlier review and helped a lot. Well worth it if you are a cake baker.

Bought this tin a few months ago and the result was great though I did use less ingredients than suggested and was till a large cupcake. Only problem I have is that I cannot find a holder big enough to keep the cake fresh as it is a tall cake.

I am a Home Economist & cookery demonstrator, so when I saw the giant cupcake baking pan I was immediately captivated, it looked such fun & I could envisage lots of different uses (full marks to the other reviewer who came up with the Christmas tree decorating idea - brilliant). On opening the package I was immediately struck by the quality & excellent heavy duty weight of the product, always a recipe for success when baking - good thick quality baking pans are worth the money. Today I have made the recipe which came attached to the cupcake, with the melted white chocolate & 5 eggs. This mixture more than filled the two grooves in the mould, indeed I was able to make an additional 9 muffin sized cup cakes (50 mm X 38 mm) with the left overs . This is not a complaint, but meant as a useful guide to other purchasers. The cooked mixture is quite delicious, the inclusion of chocolate ensures that the surface produced on baking is extremely smooth & really highlights the shapes of the cake which will then show up clearly when iced. Should you have an Aga, as I do, cook in the baking oven, grid shelf on the floor of the oven for 45 minutes. Slide the cold plain shelf in after the first 20 minutes, at the same time rotate the tin. Grease with solid vegetable fat & flour prior to baking, leave for 10 minutes on removing from the oven to cool & the two halves will drop out perfectly. A wonderful cake pan, a sure fire winner. Your kitchen & house will also smell divine if you use the recipe which comes with the mould. Top marks Lakeland for sourcing this product.
