" Record holder: Merengue Bakery Location: Detroit, Michigan Date: August 15, 2009 Cupcake measurements: 4 feet tall and 11 feet in diameter Make way for the newly crowned &amp;quot;queen cupcake&amp;quot;! The cupcake, baked by the Merengue Bakery in California, has earned the title of World&amp;#039;s Largest Cupcake in the Guinness Book of World Records. With the help of GourmetGiftBaskets.com, the confection was able to earn the prestigious title of &amp;quot;queen&amp;quot; as it was decorated pink in support of the Susan G. Komen foundation, a leading organization in the fight against breast cancer. The treat creamed the previous title holder&amp;#039;s record weight, beating the 61.4-pound cupcake crafted by Duff Goldman. Its bakers turned what was once a familiar snack-sized treat into a 1,224-pound giant that contains 200 pounds each of flour, butter, oil, and sugar and 1,000 eggs! While an average cupcake contains about 200 calories, the &amp;quot;queen cupcake&amp;quot; reigns with a caloric content of over 2,000,000. A piece of this historic treat was auctioned off on eBay the first week of September. All proceeds were donated to the Susan G. Komen foundation. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
