Giant Cupcake Frosting

tahnasha, Mar 21, 10:47pm
OK, I've brought one of the giant cupcake pans to try out, they were only $5.00 at K Mart yesterday.

Would you put icing or frosting on it?I looked up a recipe for how to make frosting like the Americans make it, and it's the same recipe as icing, except they ask for 150gms of butter.Does frosting set like icing and is it overly sweet?

I'm not sure what to do with it, since I had this great idea of buying this cake pan, LOL.

i just use butter cream
100g butter
2 cup icing sugar
2 Tbs milk
Then add flavor or coloring to suit

Do I put cream in the middle of the two layers?Sorry, haven't done this before.

depends on what you want i just use a bit of the icing to stick it together
or jam

I just made a giant cupcake for my mum's birthday cake I used Jam in the middle and a buttercream icing on top I am pleased I didn't use the butter icing in the middle it would have been too sickly. I used Orange essence in the mix and made the butter icing orange flavour and then put a crumbled chocolate flake on top

Thanks, so if my recipe says cook for 4-45 mins, do I just half the time more or less.

I made an icing the other day and it was beautiful. Didn't follow a recipe, just threw it together.
I warmed a little bit of cream ( maybe 1/4 cup) then put in a packet of milk choc melts and slowly melted them into the warmed cream. I then made a normal icing using icing sugar etc and mixed the 2 together. It was very yummo. Sorry, don't have exact amounts as usually I just make things up as I go.
