HUGE SUCCESS CUPCAKE

25 times the size of a regular cupcake. Need I say more? Do go on you say..... This was the big raffle prize for our RSPCA fundraiser. We raised $570.00 for my favourite charity.

Action
  • Whisk all cupcake ingredients together in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer for 5minutes.
  • Pour into your large cupcake mould and cook for 35minutes or until golden at 170. Cool.
  • To make your icing, cream butter, sugar and milk together until light and fluffy.
  • Seperate icing into two bowls and add colouring to one and cocoa to the other. Stir well.
  • Assemble your large cupcake by covering the top of the base in icing and placing the top on top.
  • Ice the bottom of the cupcake in your chocolate icing and the top in the pink. Making sure it is smooth and thick all over.
