Who Wants A Giant Cupcake?

So last April for my birthday, Emily got me a Giant Cupcake pan.  Can you believe I just now used it!?  I had a great idea, but I think I need a little more practice before I post a picture of what I really had planned.  So, since I already had the cake made and the ruffles I went ahead and added a bunch of icing and pearls to the top of the cake.  Please ignore the pearls on the side, I got a little silly and just started throwing them at the cake for fun!  I am absolutely in lust with Swiss meringue buttercream icing, it’s dreamy, to die for and goes straight to your hips.  I felt a little like Paula Deen while making it!
