sugar buzz...

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.

That is a very good point. Mmm, I had a super yummy cupcake last night before HP.

I think the Guiness book agrees with you - they gave Duff Goldman the record for largest cupcake last year, but they took it away again when they decided that it wasn't really a cupcake.

Still... yum!
