I just finished making a birthday cake with this pan and found it very hard to work with. I had a hunch that it was going to give me problems so did lots of forums searching before getting started. Regardless, I still had to bake the thing for over an hour and 15 minutes, so the outside was totally rock hard and dried out and the middle barely set. It was really disappointing.

I also find it hard to decorate. If you use frosting, you very easily cover up the ridges which give it the cupcake look. Maybe covering the whole thing in a very thin layer of jam and then in fondant would make it look more realistic? I don’t know but I’d love to see other people’s creations and hear thoughts about the pan.

An average cake mix yields about 7 cups or so. So that would be about 1750 ml.

Susan: Im not an expert on cake mix but I looked at the pan and with the recipe it did not say anything with the 10 cup capacity.

But 1 cup is 250 ml

Depending on how large amount of batter your recipes make I dont think that it is necessary to double the recipe. If you go for a 8″/10″ cake tin it should be more than enough I think.

hi Louise can you tell me what size cake mix would you use for this x large cupcake, i have one and i haven’t used it yet because it saying that its a 10 cup capacity, we don’t use that term in Australia what i mean is would you double a cake recipe or triple it
cheers Susan
