World's Largest Cupcake

We love watching all of the competitions on the food network and have seen many that were held at the Mall of America. We often commented that if we lived in Minnesota we would be able to see that or wouldn't that be fun to see. Shortly after we moved we got our chance. We discovered that Duff and Jeff, from Charm City Cakes or Food Network's Ace of Cakes, would be attempting to bake the world's largest cupcake. This cupcake was huge! At 150 time the size of an average cupcake it was a foot tall, 18 inches in diameter, and over 60 lbs. We were able to see Jeff and Duff carry the cake onto the stage. We watched as the Guinness Book of World Record's judge measured the cupcake and struggled with just how to weight the colossal cake. These events were fun to see but it just wouldn't be a Charm City Cake unless it had fireworks! The crowd erupted when Duff pulled out the lighter and the fire extinguisher and lit the cupcake on fire, or at least candle. It was a delightful day that I won't soon forget!
