What inspired the creation of the world's largest cake pop?
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.
Meaning that nobody has officially attempted or claimed the title of the world's largest cake pop.
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.
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.
But before we begin, not all of you listened when Linja told you to like the video last time.
So smack that like button now. The rules are strict and intense. We'll lay out the most important ones in simple terms.
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.
Rule four, ingredients must include eggs, sugar, flour, butter, chocolate or icing, and an edible decoration.
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. Linja, you ready?
Yeah, this is my first Starbucks cake pop.
Well, he's famous too.
I don't know him.
We got our cake pops.
That sign at the entrance is the closest there. We're going to get to a world record cake pop.
I'm a little disappointed in the size. It's puny, tiny, insignificant, unimpressive.
Why are you pointing the camera at me, man? We are back from Starbucks, and we got our cake pops. How is it? It's OK. It's OK, but we could do better. But before we get started, we have a little bit of measuring and weighing to do. Guinness World Records doesn't around.
What are the official requirements for a Guinness World Record cake pop?
Preheat the oven til 350 Fahrenheit, cause it's time to get baking.
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. 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.
And we'll toss in a few sticks of butter.
And last but not least, a little water.
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.
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.
Now it's time to crumble all that cake up. We want it as fine as possible before we mix it with our frosting.
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.
A few bags of confectioner's sugar. And a splash of Nick's homemade vanilla extract.
And now we mix. We had to get creative and heat this out of the bowl so the cream cheese melted faster.
Now finally, we scoop in all our frosting. And then we mix again.
And after quite a lot of mixing, we're ready to put our cake pop mix into the mold.
