The Giant has landed...

I went wild and in a crazy moment of inspiration for what to make for my birthday cake (coming soon) I bought a giant cupcake cake mould...  This was ok, it was from Ebay, but new and was very reasonably priced.  What did the damage was the trip to the specialist baking accessories shop to buy 'just a few bits and pieces' and coming out significantly lighter in the purse, but with some essentials (flower cutters, butterfly cutters, cupcake cases, fondant imprint sheets etc)...
Here is my first attempt - cake only.  I have since bought some 'cake release' to ensure the cakes come out smoothly from the mold AND I need to fill the cake mold a little higher to ensure the cake is the full size.

Just to note - the top is vanilla and the bottom is chocolate (not burned!!).
