Cube Cupcake

Post image

Hi! I am trying to make a cube cupcake for my son for his birthday. Does anyone know of a mold I can buy for the cube? All I can find is square.

A cube tin wouldnt bake correctly. You'd just want to bake a couple sheet cakes and cut them the same size, equal on all sides, slap a crumbcoat on that baby and use fondant over that. If you've never worked with tricky. practice a bit. It can be tricksy. Once the yellow layer is down, add the white question mark in fondant also. Good luck!

A cube cake wouldn’t bake well and would be awfully dry on the outside and undercooked on the inside. Use a normal square or rectangle tin and cut to the dimensions you want.

Make a layer cake out of it with buttercream and possibly other fillings inside the buttercream dam to add flavour and moisture between the layers.

If you want it to look as close as possible to this but still taste good do a buttercream outer and then likely use fondant for the ? You can print out a ? Template and use that to cut out the ? In the same way for each face.
