  MINNEAPOLIS, Minn, USA -- Cakes.com, the world's largest cake decoration supplier, presented a 150.7 pounds cupcake, including 15 pounds of fudge filling and 60 pounds of yellow icing-which sets the world record for the Largest Cupcake.

   The world's largest cupcake 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.

  The world record cupcake was made as part of a celebration of the 10th anniversary of Nickelodeon character SpongeBob SquarePants held at Mall of America’s Nickelodeon Universe.
  
  The creators of the record breaking cupcake is DecoPac, which is promoted as “the world’s largest cake decoration supplier and marketer.”

   "This is a thrill and an honor for cakes.com," said Jamie Miller, cakes.com. "This accomplishment would not be possible without the support of our event partners Cub Foods, Best Brands, and Signature Brands. Along with our pastry chef JodiLee Knops, they collaborated to make this record a reality."

    The cupcake was created as part of the Mall's celebration of SpongeBob SquarePants' 10th anniversary. Mall visitors were able to view the cupcake in the Best Buy Rotunda, where the cupcake sat atop a tower containing 2,500 iced cupcakes.

   Cupcakes were given away throughout the day, and visitors were invited to customize their own cupcake at one of the "decoration stations" set up in the rotunda.

    Event partners included: American Greetings, Anagram International, Cub Foods, GiddyUp, Paramount Pictures, Random House, Rich's, Signature Brands, Simon Spotlight, and Star Exhibits.

   Cakes.com is the consumer website of DecoPac.


  
 Company spokeswoman Jamie Miller said the giant cupcake will go to a pig farm. The company decided against giving away pieces to mall patrons because most would not have had frosting. Instead, cakes.com gave away 4,000 smaller cupcakes.


   In 1919, family-owned McGlynn’s Bakery opened in Minneapolis, and in 1965, McGlynn’s revolutionized cake decorating by turning it into entertainment as bakers decorated their cakes in full view of patrons in their shops.
