Yummy
Cakes are a yummy and cool thing. They are also big and small. So, here are the biggest & smallest cakes EVER. Enjoy!
Biggest cake (sculpture)
Britain’s Got Talent judge Amanda Holden was on hand to launch a super sweet world record bid at West London’s Westfield Shopping Centre last week, where she unveiled the largest cake sculpture.
Measuring an enormous 12metres x 10metres, the attempt was organized by detergent brand Fairy in support of its long-term charity partner Make-A-Wish UK.
As part of Guinness World Records rules for large-scale food title attempts, the entire cake had to be eaten, a rule which sweet-toothed onlookers clearly approved of, with around 12,000 Westfield shoppers each eating a slice of cake to help break the record.
The record was attempted to support the annual Bake-A-Wish® fundraising effort run by Make-A-Wish, which encourages people to sell their baked goods to raise money for the charity.
Speaking after confirmation of the record, Amanda said: "As a patron of Make-A-Wish it is a charity that is dear to my heart and does such wonderful things for truly deserving children and young people.
"This Guinness World Records attempt has the potential to raise a huge amount of money for the charity which will be used to help grant more magical wishes."
Local Bakery Sets World Record for Smallest Wedding Cake
Smallest cake
Sweet Love Bakery today was awarded the world record for smallest multi tier wedding cake. The cake stands 1.25 cm tall and weighs 90 grams and includes three tiers.
The cake was created for a wedding involving two nano particle scientist. Bakery owner Kelli Marks wanted to give the couple a unique cake for their wedding. “I thought about microscopes, atoms, lab jackets, pocket protectors, and all sorts of things” says Marks. “Ultimately I decided to make the smallest cake I could imagine. I had no idea it would become a world record.”
To serve the cake at the wedding the couple borrowed an electron microscope from UAMS to cut and plate the cake into enough pieces to serve the estimated 780 guest at the wedding.
The cake served at the wedding was actually the second version. Marks tells us that she lost the first cake somewhere in the bakery. “It was the hardest cake that I have ever made. It took me 3 days to make the first one, then 2 days before the wedding I couldn’t find it, I must have lost it somewhere in the bakery” Marks says. “So I stayed up all night and all day working to remake the cake.”
To create the small cake Marks used a large magnifying glass, syringes for the piping, and an easy bake oven to cook it. She found that the large industrial oven she has in the bakery would burn the small layers of white cake.
