This towering toothsome delight (5-feet tall and 4-feet wide, to be precise) was dished out during the pink carpet ceremonies preceding last weekend's 2nd Annual THINK PINK ROCKS charity concert in Boca Raton, FL.
The THINK PINK founders, breast cancer survivor Stephanie Robin and her friend Elizabeth Weprin, developed the concert to raise awareness for the Breast Cancer Gene (BRCA) and fund breast cancer charities.
World's Largest Cupcake — and for a Good Cause
Just how colossal was the cupcake? Commissioned by Global TV Concepts and Big Top Cupcake and baked by Boca Raton's Passion for Pastry, the treat weighed in at 1,316 pounds — earning it the title of World's Largest Cupcake. A Guinness World Records representative was even on hand to proclaim the new record.
Before you attempt to whip up your own ginormous goody, take a look at the photos (below), and get a load of these stats:
Size of the Handmade Sprinkles: 5 inches
Size of the "Cherry" on Top: 12 inches wide
Baking time: 30 hours in a 10-foot oven
Flavor: Chocolate
Even sweeter than the cocoa confection itself? All the money from the cupcake donations went to these beneficiaries:
Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York; BRCH Women's Center for Breast Care; The American Cancer Society / Making Strides Against Breast Cancer; Reach Global / Jacob International; The Florida Breast Cancer Foundation; The H.O.P.E. Project; University of Miami Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
