This past August we posted about the unveiling of the world's largest cupcake in Michigan. The giant confection weighed in at a whopping 1,224 pounds, but truthfully, we just didn't think it seemed that big. Well apparently others shared our opinion, because  just this past weekend a new cupcake took home the crown. The Guiness Book of World records certified that a 1,316 pound cupcake was the new title holder. The Boca Raton bakery Passion for Pastry was enlisted to create the cake to be unveiled at the 2nd annual Think Pink Rocks concert benefitting cancer research. While just under 100 pounds heavier than the previous title holder, this cupcake took the competition to new heights at 5 feet tall. The chocolate cake was topped with layers of pink icing, handmade 5-inch sprinkles and a 12-inch-wide cherry. Want to know the best part about a cupcake that big?   There was enough of the tasty treat to go around. It was served up for donations to Think Pink Rocks during the pink carpet ceremonies preceding the concert.
