Ahhh, So Many Cupcake Pans!

I just received an email from Williams-Sonoma promoting their new cupcake pan. I stared at it for a second and almost declared the email incontrovertibly mistaken. "This isn't new. I've made a giant cupcake cake before. The proof is in an old blog post! I own this old pan." But then I looked closer at the photo and sure enough, the shape of the frosting is much peakier. Troubled, I looked into a bunch of cupcake pans online to see what all is out there for the world to choose from now. Why wasn't I faced with these choices when I got mine? Whatever, I'm perfectly happy with my Wilton one.

But just to show you, here are a few of the cupcake pans you now have to choose from...

  4. i love the wilton one you have more than the williams-sonoma one. i almost bought it myself! but i have nowhere to store it... it looks like you can bring the frosting all the way to the edge of the cupcake with the wilton one; the williams sonoma one doesn't quite make it to the edge of the base, so it looks less like of a cupcake to me. i almost want to decorate the top with green frosting and little shiny ball sprinkles and call it a christmas tree haha. but anyway, point being - i think you made the right choice :)
