In this article titled "How To Make A GIANT CUPCAKE CAKE", the baking channel The Scran Line and renowned baker Yolanda Gampp share a tutorial on how to create a large cupcake-shaped cake.

The tutorial starts with Yolanda introducing the idea of making a giant cupcake cake for a special occasion or celebration. She mentions that this cake will require a special mold, which can be easily found at baking supply stores. Yolanda also suggests using a vanilla cake recipe but mentions that any flavor can be used.

To make the cake, Yolanda explains that the first step is to prepare the mold by greasing it with a generous amount of butter.

This will prevent the cake from sticking to the mold later. She then instructs to preheat the oven to the recommended temperature indicated on the cake mix or recipe.

Next, Yolanda shares her recipe for the vanilla cake batter and demonstrates how to mix the ingredients, including flour, sugar, eggs, butter, milk, baking powder, and vanilla extract. She notes that the batter should be smooth and well-mixed to ensure an even texture.

Yolanda then fills both halves of the cupcake mold with the cake batter, making sure not to overfill as the cake will rise while baking. She advises tapping the mold gently on the counter to remove any air bubbles from the batter.

The molds are then placed in the preheated oven to bake for the recommended time.

While the cake is baking, The Scran Line showcases how to make the buttercream frosting for the giant cupcake cake. The recipe includes butter, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a small amount of milk. The buttercream is beaten until light and fluffy and then set aside.

Once the cake is fully baked and has cooled, Yolanda takes out the two halves of the giant cupcake from the molds. She trims the cakes slightly to level them and create a flat surface. After that, Yolanda spreads a layer of buttercream frosting on the bottom half of the cake and sandwiches the top half on top, creating a cupcake shape.

To decorate the cake and give it a realistic cupcake appearance, Yolanda uses more buttercream frosting to cover the entire cake. She expertly pipes swirls of frosting on top to create the illusion of cupcake icing. Finally, she adds sprinkles on the top for a festive touch.

The tutorial concludes with Yolanda presenting the finished giant cupcake cake, which looks delicious and impressive. The video provides a step-by-step guide for anyone interested in making a show-stopping cake for their special occasions, following the instructions and techniques demonstrated by The Scran Line and Yolanda Gampp.
