At this point thats just a cake. But, if you call it a colossal cupcake you can then charge 10 times the amount.
Ahhh, and here I thought the dumb name was just to make people feel better about eating an entire cake in one sitting. But you have an even better point
So… a cake?
This is a "at what point does a knife become a sword" type of thing isn't it?
It's already a modification to the word to describe something smaller (a cake baked in a cup), so going back the other way seems like a redundancy.
Like a giant pygmy hippo.
With your knife/sword example, maybe the best analogy is describing the shortest longsword.
IPad mini all over again.
The smallest messer before it becomes a regular knife

Now I want more examples of a group sized thing adapted to be personal sized then reinterpreted to be group sized again.
I'm coming up blank, but I guess a similar concept would be post-it note easel pads.
What? You don’t want to finish your party sized pizza bites?
I think OP meant actual existing examples, not hypotheticals
Have you ever seen a calzone?
How rude! Now I’m not going to let you have a dip in my family sized kiddy pool.
Aw man!
Any pizza can be a personal pizza if you believe in yourself.
I got one! Party bicycles!
wagon (multi person) --> bicycle (single person) --> party bike (multi person)

Yeah something like a Panettone Abomination.
(I love real Panettone though)
An unfrosted Double Dutch, at that.
That is an offense in itself. You're making it that large, toss on the fudge or Dutch chocolate icing with it.
I mean, if it was cooked in a cup mold then it is a cup cake no matter the size
got it, cake with paper on it
basically, yeah
Enjoyed with a double demitasse coffee with 2 half teaspoons of sugar and chilled steamed beef milk.
You can't have coffee AND Bovril.

Thats past the cup size. It's just a cake
It in a cup tho
At that point, isn’t it just a cake wrapped in paper? I don’t think anyone would look at a salad bowl and think, “that is a cup.”
No, they'd say "that's a colossal cup."
but, cake is meant to be shared,
who cares if a cake has 10000 calories.
that's like saying supermarket has millions of calories in their shelves so they are unhealthy
4-pounds
6,000 calories
You looking to pump those numbers up to 
levels?
100% that kid won't even finish the layer of oreos (?) on the top. What a fucking disgusting use of what I'm going to apprehensively title 'food'.

Capitalists now: "Here is your 26 megajoule cupcake!"
Capitalists a year later: "Here is your insulin subscription, only $299/month!"
Three days' calories for the price of one cupcake?!
Why did they choose the dried bird poop topping tho?
It's Oreo frosting
Yes, that's the commercial name.
A second cupcake has hit the supermarkets
Servings per container: 1
Looks like a hard duke rolled in sand.
Zomg, someone cupped the (normal) cake!
Give it 5 years. Becomes American "child size" cupcake.
Was there any damage to the supermarkets? It's a pretty big cupcake, i guess, just doesn't seem like that bag a deal?
Finally a panettone replacement
Awesome.
