Normally we think of a cupcake as something sweet and diminutive. Even cute. But not THIS bad boy. Introducing the World's largest cupcake recently unveiled in Detroit, Michigan. (Thanks Kat for sharing it on FB--at least virtually.) Just take a gander at this recipe:
REALLY BIG CUPCAKE
serves a whole lot
200 lbs. sugar
200 lbs. flour
200 lbs. butter
800 eggs
Mix in a really, really big bowl and bake for over 12 hours or until giant toothpick comes out clean. Let cool completely. (This could take a while.) Cover with a small mountain of custard and frosting.
Here's a few more stats:
Circumference: 11 ft.
Oven Door Size: 8ft. x 8ft.
Weight: 1,224 lbs.
Conclusion: The world's largest cupcake weighs more than me. (It's probably a little sweeter than me, too!)
