Chapter 1: What inspired the creation of the world's largest cake pop?

0.031 - 18.671 Nick DiGiovanni

A few months ago, I didn't even know what a cake pop was. Then, I met Linda. Together, we made the biggest cake pop in the entire world. Or so we thought. You see, our first video got millions and millions of views and somehow even attracted the attention of the Guinness World Records team, who said that there was a record title but no record holder for world's largest cake pop.

18.731 - 23.676 Linja

Meaning that nobody has officially attempted or claimed the title of the world's largest cake pop.

0

23.656 - 40.072 Nick DiGiovanni

So it turned out that while in reality we may have made the largest ever cake pop, it wasn't actually official. We followed up and found out that the actual record cake pop had to be a minimum of 30 kilograms, which is a bit less than 69 pounds. Not exactly sure who came up with that number, but I like it.

40.092 - 50.589 Linja

Dom, you dirty dog. After our first video, so many people asked us to collab again that we figured, why not? Let's run it back and get a world record at the same time.

50.689 - 54.695 Nick DiGiovanni

But before we begin, not all of you listened when Linja told you to like the video last time.

54.715 - 62.067 Linja

So smack that like button now. The rules are strict and intense. We'll lay out the most important ones in simple terms.

62.047 - 74.69 Nick DiGiovanni

Rule number one, this record is for the largest cake pop in terms of weight. Rule two, this is measured to the nearest thousandth kilogram. Rule number three, for the purpose of this record, a cake pop is defined as a round, coated piece of cake on a lollipop stick.

74.71 - 81.542 Linja

Rule four, ingredients must include eggs, sugar, flour, butter, chocolate or icing, and an edible decoration.

81.582 - 99.383 Nick DiGiovanni

And most important, rule number five, have fun. But before we begin, let's take a trip to Starbucks to check out the gold standard for a cake pop. All right, we are just a few minutes away from the nearest Starbucks. I feel like Starbucks is the place that brought cake pops into this world. We have to go get one of theirs to be able to measure it and perfectly replicate a massive version of it.

Chapter 2: What are the official requirements for a Guinness World Record cake pop?

162.132 - 166.181 Linja

Preheat the oven til 350 Fahrenheit, cause it's time to get baking.

167.163 - 195.33 Nick DiGiovanni

We're gonna start with one linja length worth of cakes. But before we get started, the health inspector made clear that we had to be wearing something as a head covering since we'll be serving this cake. So, I'm gonna use this bowl. What are you doing Nick? To start, we're gonna add all our cake mix to this giant bucket. Then we go in with our liquid eggs.

195.35 - 200.884 Nick DiGiovanni

Since we have a health inspector on site, we're using special eggs here that are a little bit easier to follow food safety requirements with.

0

200.904 - 203.309 Linja

And we'll toss in a few sticks of butter.

0

203.33 - 207.84 Nick DiGiovanni

And last but not least, a little water.

207.86 - 225.567 Linja

Now it's time to mix it all up. Now it's time to start pouring in the cake batter. Spread it all out. You want these cakes to be nice and even.

225.587 - 247.354 Nick DiGiovanni

Now we're going to bake this for about 10 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Once we've baked off our full linge stack of cakes, we're finally ready to start crumbling it up. And make that cake a batter.

248.465 - 254.912 Linja

Now it's time to crumble all that cake up. We want it as fine as possible before we mix it with our frosting.

254.932 - 265.764 Nick DiGiovanni

Step aside, Linda. Now it's time to make our cream cheese frosting. First, we'll go into our mixer with a bunch of cream cheese.

Chapter 3: How do you prepare for making a giant cake pop?

361.091 - 363.453 Nick DiGiovanni

Oh my God, Lydia. Lydia, it looks like we made a bomb.

363.473 - 366.257 Linja

Oh my gosh, I bet the FBI is watching us.

366.297 - 379.933 Nick DiGiovanni

Day two. We added more dry ice around the cake pop this morning to make sure it was super hyper frozen. So before we bring it upstairs, it's time to take care of our royal icing. That's the frosting we're gonna wrap around the entire cake pop to toss the sprinkles onto. Four cups of powdered sugar. Then three tablespoons of meringue powder.

0

380.093 - 381.695 Linja

And nine tablespoons of water.

0

382.315 - 398.453 Nick DiGiovanni

Now we'll close down our mixer and let this go until a nice glue-like paste forms. Now that our frosting is done, it's time to go grab that cake pop. Now that we've made our royal icing, it's time to lift this upstairs. Oh, baby. Oh, wow.

398.473 - 402.218 Linja

First things first, let's take off these wedges.

402.238 - 404.963 Nick DiGiovanni

And then I'll use these Parmesan cheese wedges to wedge it open.

405.023 - 406.485 Linja

Now I'm going to take off the top.

413.232 - 415.796 Nick DiGiovanni

Whoa! How do you feel right now?
