world's biggest barbie birthday cake
Barbie, the queen of all things glamorous, continues to celebrate her 50th birthday in style! In Sydney, Australia, Mattel unveiled a larger-than-life-size Barbie cake in her honor. Measuring 7 feet tall and weighing in at 2,645 pounds, this cake was edible luxury, as only a Barbie cake should be. The sweet creation was covered in gold icing, gold silk and $50,000 worth of Swarovski crystals! Based on the design for the 50th Anniversary Limited Edition Barbie, this cake was created by a team of experts, hairdresser Joh Bailey, Australian fashion designer Alex Perry, jewelry designer Stefano Canturi, and Sweet Art Bakers in Australia.
The Worlds Largest Birthday Cake
When Las Vegas celebrates, they do it big. And back in 2005, when they were celebrating their centenary, they created a birthday cake, a BIG birthday cake. In fact, the worlds largest! 30,000 half-sheet cakes and nearly 40,000 pounds of frosting later, they had the worlds largest birthday cake!

We had our cake, and we ate it too! What's a Centennial Birthday party without cake? Whatever the answer, no one in Las Vegas wanted to risk it. So during the early hours of the morning on May 15, 2005, eight semi-trucks from North Carolina drove into the loading zone at Cashman Center hauling 30,000 half-sheet cakes and nearly 40,000 pounds of frosting. Volunteers were already gathering nearby to start the process of unloading, unpacking, stacking, and ultimately frosting.
Las Vegas' birthday cake is registered in the Guinness Book of World Records replacing a record set in Fort Wayne, Ala. The Vegas cake outweighed the Alabama confection by 128,360 pounds.
In order to qualify for a Guinness record, the world's largest cake must:
• contain traditional ingredients in the correct proportions;
• be prepared in the same manner as a normal-sized cake;
• be prepared according to appropriate hygiene standards;
• be totally edible and safe to eat.
And while the final product is built from separately baked sheet cakes, they must be iced all over so that no joint can be seen, and so that the cake looks like a scaled-up version of a normal-sized cake.
In Las Vegas, a beautifully decorated layer cake nearly always attracts "cheesecake."
Too hungry to wait for forks, Mayor Oscar B. Goodman (r.) and Sara Lee President John Flood (l.) bite into the World's Largest Birthday Cake.
world's largest wedding cake
Have you seen this? I think this is the neatest thing I've seen in a minute. I mean the amalgam tattoo of Hello Kitty and Darth Vader on Geekstir the other day was cool, but this just takes the cake (pun Intended).
The Executive Pastry Chef, Lynn Mansel, and his (or her, I'm not sure) team of 57 "pastry artisans" just constructed the world's largest wedding cake. They made it for the New England Bridal Showcase held at the Mohegan Sun Resort at the beginning of the month.
This cake is unbelievable. At 15, 032 pounds and 17 feet tall, this thing is three times the size of the cake that currently holds the world record. The cake team baked 700 sheet cakes and put them all together to build the giant cake. They had to use steel discs as cake boards, heavy duty metal pipes as separators, and two fork lifts to put each tier in place as it was finished.
The wedding cake can serve up to 59, 000 people. Can you imagine having that many guests at your wedding? I really don't understand why people go all out to have the world's largest whatever, but it's fun to watch. I wonder what they're going to do with all that cake?
