Giant Cupcake > Regular Cupcake

Yes, please. All I have to say is that making this cupcake takes forever. About a good hour depending on how high or low your temperature is at. This is probably my fourth time making this Giant cupcake and I had this cupcake pan for a couple of years now. Its not that I don't like making these, but really when does one eat a GIANT cupcake on any given day? I don't know one sane person who does..just sayin' You can whip up a batch of cupcakes eat one or five and then share. But this cupcake is much more you can't share it, I mean you can..but do you want to? not really. You just want to keep it looking cute. I mean really would you eat a cute cat, dog,or baby? maybe you would. None of my business. So back to what I am trying to get out. This cupcake! Not just any ordinary cupcake, a vegan cookies&cream cupcake. What gets me most is when these cupcakes are presented are the looks on the faces of the people receiving them. Its pretty awesome. I made this for (okay stay with me now) my friend Omar's friend who happens to be in a band that was playing a show Friday (yesterday). Tragic Ends (google them).If I remember correctly his name is Scout? he just had a birthday but them being on tour he didn't get to celebrate it. Omar asked if I could set aside one of my usual cupcakes (regular size) w/ a candle and we can give it to him, but I had a better idea. I offered to make a Giant Cupcake I had the pan collecting dust(not really) it was time to use it again, plus who would rather have a regular size cupcake over a GIANT cupcake? no one. the bigger the better, right? So, here is what the cupcake looked like:

& here is what it looked like next to a regular size cupcake:

Pretty neat eh? I'd love this for my birthday.

& here is the birthday boy holding the cupcake (well, whats left of it) and Omar w/ the thumbs up. I hope he enjoyed every bite of it. Stay Sweet:

So, as most of you know if you read this blog I sell cupcakes at shows that is pretty much how I make some money for myself to get the bus to school, buy more baking supplies, & blah blah blah. For this show I made Cookies&Cream which I sold for .50 ( I know them being vegan I can make a lot more, but I like to keep it diy, well for now, I know kids have it hard gathering up money for the show alone) & Strawberry Lemonade Cupcakes which I sold for $1(again, I know). This kid Mitch (if I remember correctly) (on the right) asked me if he ate this cupcake in one bite, wait let me describe this cupcake it was a lemon base cake filled with strawberries salted in pure maple syrup (which is expensive) & lemon buttercream (which took me forever to zest lemon, and squeeze the juice out, did I mention I had tiny knuckle cuts, OUCH), topped with the cake (that was scooped out, to fill it with strawberries) and more strawberries & lemon buttercream and then with two strawberry slices on the very top, if he could pay .50 cent for the cupcake instead of $1, I mean really? is a dollar a lot for what I described? did I mention it was vegan, plus everything was pure & organic. ugh, I gave in and accepted but I told him that if I was going to give him it at half the price that I needed proof of his ability to eat a cupcake in one single bite, His friend ahh sorry if you read this I don't remember your name if you told me it, wanted in as well. I tried to take a picture but all I got was it already in the mouth. I wanted the cupcake in the mouth showing, get me? ha. Oh well, that was the first and last time, but I can't really complain because he ended up giving me a dollar ha ha. So I snapped this fancy picture okay its not fancy but shut up I got the flash to start working & plus you get to see the cyc for those of you who haven't been/seen. Well, you get to see some of it the lovely bathroom ha. Maybe next time I will get someone who will wait for me to snap the picture before eating it? ha. This was probably the longest post ever.

Here is the picture of Mitch ( on the right) and his friend ( on the left) cupcake in mouth. Maybe next ttime I'll shoot a video instead.

Last night was a good night.
Tonight is Wolves & Thieves I am very excited for that show.
I will be selling Mint Cookies&Cream and Orangesicle, yummy!
