Video update - "Cupcake for the Cure" going into the oven.

Into The Oven!

It’s been a ton of work!
(perhaps even a couple of tons)
The World Record Cupcake is going in the oven!

We are “can do” people...

We started off with a goal of a 7,000 pound cupcake but fate intervened on Friday morning when the baking was supposed to be complete. The huge 8 by 8 foot oven was opened and we found that the weight of the expanding batter crushed one of the main convection tubes blowing hot air into the heart of the cupcake causing the batter to separate, liquefy and crush the center of the cupcake from the inside out. With only 24 hours left until the official weigh-in, the brilliant baking crew went into overdrive creating a new, customized mold and fresh batch of batter using an estimated 200 pounds of flour, 200 pounds of sugar, 200 pounds of butter and oil and 1,000 eggs
