I read another technique on a blog for making a CCC.
You place aluminum cupcake liners together and fill them a bit more than usual. Then you bake them and they raise up and bake together to make one solid surface.
Has anyone done a CCC this way? I did a forum search and could only find tips for the traditional way.
The blog didn't have a lot of details or tips, just a few sentences. I can post the link if anyone would like.
hmmmm.... interesting.
yep, should work just like biscuits in a pan start separate and then all meld together.
BUT.....this means I have to have my design all figured out BEFORE in goes in the oven ---
what! you want me to be organized and plan ahead too!?!?!? 
Interesting.
Glad I wasn't the only one mystified by this. Here is the link if you'd like to check it out.

I may give it a try for an Easter cake.
i have done them this way. if they seperate when you take them out of the pan,it is very hard to fit them back, its worse then a jigsaw puzzle. and there is no need to crumb coat, just ice the regular way. i prefer todo them in muffin pans then arrange.

What a great point! That alone is convincing me to just continue with the way I normally do it! 
I don't crumb coat either. I just use my icer tip...

This can be done the only problems with doing it this way would be:
1. The cupcake surface will not be flat. You will have to trim or use icing to get a level surface.
2. It's harder to take them apart. I made a cupcake cake for my step son because we could not bring a knife into his school to cut the cake. It was easy to serve without a knife.
3. The tops maybe a bit over baked and and tough.
4. you will need To be careful separating them from the pans if not it all falls apart...
To me it seem like it's more trouble and clean up that it's worth. Try it and see how it works for you.
