No, if you want to make cupcakes you will have to refill after first pan of 12. To be honest I am sorry I bought it I have used it twice in the year since I bought it. It is hard to clean, you can not use thick batters about the only thing its good for is pancake batter. Even then it's just easier to use a large measuring cup.

I've only made the one small cake recipe, but would think a pie crust would work too. I just can't say through experience.

This is a somewhat clueless question, since I don't yet own this item (am buying today, though). Can you just line the peeled tray with something else, like a piece of silicone baking cup (cupcake size) or aluminum foil, cut down to size? Obviously, that's not the ideal option but maybe will serve as a last resort, if replacement trays are not available. I hope my tray will survive but I'll plan on getting the silicone washable cupcake cups as a back up.

Yes! I would absolutely use it to make a cake! We've made brownies with it many times! I often use it for mug cakes when I'm in the mood for something sweet but don't want a whole cake in the house!

Dear BrendaI am not much help here I personally never use cake mixes. I would suggest that you experiment. Use your natural creativity. Anything you can do with a regular cake should would work, just remember to oil the pan liberally and have fun.

Sure you can use cake mix! I actually use them for cheesecake.You can get very creative.

I believe that you could make square cupcakes. Don't think pan is too shallow. I would definitely try it.

I used a regular cake mix. no problem. baking time will take some adjustment.

I use it for cakes, muffins, pancakes, cookies, brownies, quick breads, etc. with great success. I do not like the results for yeasted breads or for pastry doughs (pie crust, etc.) very much though - I would stick to bread flour or all purpose flour for those.

I use it for cake batter too. It works.The good cakes need a good receipe though :)

Yes, I just recently made a no-gluten pie crust. This little machine is very powerful, and convient. Just pulse theingredients until the mixture comes together. DO NOT hold the button down, you'll burn the motor out. As soon asthe dough was sticking together I did the rest of the work by hand. Hope this helps. Don't over load it. The Best, Truthful.

yes you can bake a pie in this but you have to use a lower temp and watch it often, the top will burn quickly, you can use your regular sized pie pan. I often cook pizza in mine, but I only do 2 or 3 slices at once, I like the edges crispy.

I went on line and got a recipe from a competitor for a 9 or 11 cup food processor. I tried the recipe that called for 4 cups of flour (2 loaves of bread). I may not have followed the recipe steps of adding what when??? It was too much and the processor just couldn't get the dough around the bowl. I put the dough into the bread machine and worked it there and it eventually was worked enough. I tried a 2 cup recipe twice and it made excellent dough both times with about a minutes worth of processing. I have the dough raising for the oven now and it is as nice or nicer than the Kitchen Aide mixer,or the bread machine makes. So yes, for my pizza dough recipe (-2 cups flour) and roll or small bread recipes it will be a snap. I may make up some pre-packaged bags for the freezer to take out and fix in a hurry. I was nervous and kept feeling for any heat from the motor, but nothing.

sorry, i don't know I never used it for cupcakes only for hors d'oeuvres. It is not very big though so probably not too many

I use the smaller one in the regular size cupcakes. I haven't used the larger one yet. It would make a pretty big hole.
