There are a few standard cupcake sizes, most often known simply as “mini,” “standard” and “king.” The precise amount that each size will hold may vary a bit from manufacturer to manufacturer, but the sizes are pretty consistent. Minis are about half the size of standard muffins and king size – sometimes known as jumbo size – are about twice the size. When jumbo cupcakes just aren’t big enough, there is one other size option, a giant cupcake pan from Wilton.
Unlike other shaped pans, this one bakes both a dome and a base for your cupcake. The pieces, once baked, can be stuck together with a bit of frosting to form a super-sized sweet treat. Top off with jumbo sprinkles and you’ll have a perfectly scaled up dessert.

January 22, 2009Have you used this pan? Do you know of a recipe that would work for it? I don’t want to use box cake mix and I’ve only seen one recipe on Wilton for chocolate pound cake.. I’m not sure how good that would be for my daughters first birthday party. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
