Should the baking times for both pieces of the Wilton Giant Cupcake Pan be equal?
I recently got one of those giant cupcake pans, with the top and bottoms pieces of a big cupcake that you assemble via icing. Mine's made by Wilton but I'm sure most brands' are basically the same...I was just wondering, since the top piece of the cupcake is a cone and bottom is a cylinder, should the bottom be baked three times longer than the top? It's volume is three times that of the cylinder...if I were to bake them for the same amount of time, wouldn't the top piece get all dried out and burnt? Or does it not work like that? I'm still fairly new to baking, and I'm really sorry if my question sounds kind of dumb. Thanks in advance for your help!
It all comes out in the same amount of time. I see what you are saying with the volume but somehow it comes out right. I think maybe it has to do with the thinness of the pan letting all the ingredients heat and bake at the same amount of time. Make sure for your first run you have a back up cake mix. I didn't have a problem the first time I used it but if you're new to baking you may flop the first one. Just take your time, read the directions carefully and check the top and bottom with toothpicks while baking. If you feel that one side is done and the other is raw you can try to remove it and bake the other side but you're going to have to be quick like a ninja
