150-Pound Cupcake In Minnesota Sets Guinness Record

MINNEAPOLIS — A 151-pound cupcake in Minneapolis has been certified as the world's largest. The 1-foot tall, 2-foot wide cupcake on display Saturday at the Minneapolis Mall of America had 15 pounds of fudge filling and 60 pounds of yellow icing.

Guinness World Records adjudicator Danny Girton Jr. called it a "fun and creative achievement."

The cupcake was made by cakes.com, which is run by cake-decoration supplier and marketer DecoPac.

Company spokeswoman Jamie Miller said the giant cupcake will go to a pig farm. The company decided against giving away pieces to mall patrons because most would not have had frosting.

Instead, cakes.com gave away 4,000 smaller cupcakes.

You know you're a wealthy country when you can play games with food.

sorry
wrapped not rapped, but if they had rapped about it that might make it cooler, no it wouldn't it still would be really sad.

So when does a cupcake become a cake????
When it is bigger than a cup!!!
This just sounds like a really crappy cake and they ran out of frosting so they rapped it in tinfoil.
It's the size of a wedding cake. I just don't understand how this is record worthy.
I live in the worlds largest doll house!!! It's a two story brick colonial with 5 bedrooms 6 baths full sized kitchen and finished basement.
