A 150-pound cupcake, displayed to visitors at Mall of America, was certified by Guinness World Records as the world's largest cupcake. The cupcake was created as part of the Mall's celebration of SpongeBob SquarePants' 10th anniversary. The cupcake's final weight was measured at 150.7 pounds, including 15 pounds of fudge filling and 60 pounds of yellow icing. It stood 12 inches tall and 24 inches wide. A candle topped the creation, bringing the total height to 4 feet. The cupcake's final size yielded 1,500 servings.
"I am pleased to welcome this fun and creative achievement into the Guinness World Records family," said Danny Girton, Jr., Guinness World Records adjudicator. "Only three percent of all record attempts are successful. Considering that this is cakes.com's first record attempt this achievement is even more remarkable."
