The world's largest cupcake?
Now, as cute as the whole things is, I'm confused. A cupcake is a small cake baked in a cup-shaped mold. The miniature version of a cake. If you blow up a cupcake to giant size, it's no longer small, nor is it baked in a cup, so basically it's just a giant cake. Layering a bunch of sheet cakes together to make a giant cupcake shaped cake just lacks that essential cupcakeyness.
I guess maybe if you found a large enough mold to make 150kg, and a ginormous paper baking cup, then it'd be an actual world's largest cupcake.
Not that I'd ever reject cake. I am a sugar fiend, after all.
