The whole point of a cupcake is that it's just the right size for one person. But you'd have to be an incredibly greedy person to scoff a cupcake baked in our Giant Cupcake Tin. It's huge!

Giant Cupcake Tin party time

Don't eat it all at once!

Ideal for any occasion (apart from a cake-oholics anonymous meet), this professional weight, cast aluminium, non-stick pan lets you create the mother of all cupcakes. Simply whip up your tasty mixture (use your own recipe or follow the one that's included), pour half in the base section and half in the top, then pop the whole shebang into the oven for around 50 minutes.

Once your mighty cake is cooked, wait for it to cool, stick both halves together with a bit of icing then get busy decorating it with icing, sprinkles, choccy bits or whatever else takes your fancy. Let them eat cake? Absolutely!

Have your cake and eat it!

If you're wondering why anyone would want to gorge on a confection of such ludicrous proportions we'd like to point you in the direction of Mallory's famous 'because it's there' quote. Yes, we know he was talking about Everest but the sentiment is the same. When faced with a cake this awesome, the only thing any rational human being can do is take a walloping great bite out of it. Yum!

But seriously folks, the real point of baking a cupcake this big is so that you can share it with friends. Plus you won't have to faff around making loads of individual cupcakes. Indeed, this ginormous tin will accommodate a cake big enough to give 10-12 servings. It's great for kids' birthday parties and supersize dinner soirees. And if you ever tire of humungous cupcakes you can use it for chocolate, jelly or ice cream.

Dishwasher safe, the Giant Cupcake Tin is guaranteed for life. Electric word life. It means forever and that's a mighty long time...hold on, why are we quoting Prince? We've no idea but we assume he loves cupcakes as much as everyone else. After all, what's not to like? Especially when they're this big. Mmm...cupcake!

visitor avatar Bought this to do my mums 50th birthday cake with! Absolutely love it! My sister has decided to use it for her wedding next year, so we're making 5 of them with different toppings. Couldn't believe it arrived so quick either. Brilliant!

visitor avatar My cake tin arrived this morning, and I love it, like I knew I would, but what I really love is that I ordered it only 22 hours before! How did you do that? (and I have to know... did you pay the post man extra to run up to my door?) Kudos to you. Fantastic product, great price, AMAZING service!
Lyndsay, Horsham - Jan '09
visitor avatar Wow! This must be where one of my friends got her cake mould for her 18th birthday cake this year. It's such a good invention, though she wouldnt tell me how she managed to make it! It went down a real treat, in taste and appearance! Everyone at the party was going on about it for days afterwards! I'm definately going to get this for mum for christmas! It makes such a huge cake too, there was plenty left over afterwards!

visitor avatar OMG... I NEED this!!

visitor avatar Ooh it looks so good!! Who can I convince to buy this for me?

visitor avatar I ordered this & used it straight away. Great success (I've also posted a photo of the results BUT... it's such a shame the 2 parts are joined. The top bit cooked WAY quicked than the bottom bit as they are ompletely different sizes, something I must say I was a bit worried about when I ordered it. I used a very tried & tested chocolate cake mix of my own, but I can't imagine the recipie it comes with would cook differently. Having said that, it wasn't beyond saving by any means, and just looked so good! £30 (near enough) for a baking tin is kinda pricey, but it is great quality and I know I will use it again and again. I'm ashamed to say while I was being called a culinary genius by all at the party I may have neglected to mention I used a mould. Sorry Firebox!
Firebox says: Don't worry, we forgive you :) Thanks for the tips!

Sarah Yewman, Chelmsford - May '09
visitor avatar Absolutely fantastic! Bought this for my fiance's birthday party and it went down a treat. The recipe that comes with it is scrummy too!!!
Kim O'Neill, Northern Ireland - Mar '09
visitor avatar WARNING KEEP AWAY FROM HIGH HEAT AS WILL RESULT IN FIRE. The cake tin is brill, however my incompetence in the art of baking is not. The cake tin remained unharmed after the hell like heat of the oven however and kept its cake tin shine and shape, unlike its contents I LOVE CAKE.
