1,224-pound cupcake sets record as world's largestSunday, August 16, 2009 (08-16) 11:04 PDT Manchester, N.H. (AP) -- A 1,224-pound triple vanilla cupcake with pink frosting has set a record as the world's largest. More NewsThe sugary behemoth was unveiled Saturday at the Woodward Dream Cruise classic cars event in Royal Oak, Mich. A Guinness World Records adjudicator was on hand to certify the cupcake's girth. It was more than eight times the size of the previous record holder. The colossal cupcake took 12 hours to bake and included 800 eggs and 200 pounds each of sugar and flour. Slices of the cupcake were served in exchange for donations to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer organization. Ryan Abood, owner of New Hampshire-based Gourmetgiftbaskets.com who made the cupcake, told the Detroit Free Press that it clocked in at an estimated 2 million calories. |
