This was my first attempt at a GIANT lemon cupcake. It didn't all go according to plan but i'm sure there will be a next time to perfect my cupcake creation, maybe EID inshaAllah.
So here is what went wrong:-
- I undercooked the top of the giant cupcake even i tested it with a scewer and it came out clean! This was evident when i tried releasing it from the silicone mould, it didn't come out in one piece and was mushy in the center.
- The filling insert that fits on top of the base popped up at one side during the baking process, result - filling cavity wasn't directly in the center/ uneven border.
Next time i must remember to:-
- Bake the top/lid of the cupcake for an extra 5 minutes and leave it to cool 80% in the mould before releasing.
- Make sure the filling insert is properly secured on top of the base before baking.
I kinda used this cake as a canvas to practice my buttercream roses using the wilton 1M tip, they would have looked more 3D/ realistic if piped onto the lid, inshaAllah some other time (sighs)
The recipe for the cake & buttercream can be found here, i used about 150ml whipped double cream and 4 small strawberries, sliced for the filling.
MashAllah it looks good I knew it would be a lot of work so you did great with what you had better then most I am sure :)
