Once again, my kids have turned me on to another great infomercial product. The Big Top Cupcake is the cutest and funniest thing ever! I was just laughing when I saw the infomercial and called right then to order it (the price is really good — $19.95). I’ve baked before using the silicone molds so I felt fairly confident that baking with the big cupcake mold would be really easy and with minimal mess. I was right and my 3 kids got such a kick out of our giant cupcake (which we decorated as a ladybug!)
I’ve always been really into making each of my kids really festive birthday parties and I always want to make birthday cakes from scratch and with some kind of cute theme. The problems I always run into is finding a mold that my kids like and getting the cake to bake well and come out of the pan nice and neat! Usually my cakes have been a wreck coming out of those cheap aluminum cake molds and more than once I have had to redo the cake. Some years I’ve actually bought birthday cakes from the bakery, but they were so expensive and so much bigger than we needed that a third of it would end up in the garbage or sit in my freezer for 6 months. A total waste!
