| Giant cupcake: Baked over the course of 12 hours, the gigantic cup cake was made from 200 pounds of flour, 200 pounds of sugar, 200 pounds of butter and 800 eggs. A 4ft cupcake weighing a hefty 1,224lbs has been officially recognised as the world’s largest by the Guinness Book of Records. Unveiled on Monday, in Detroit, Michigan, US, the enormous cake - with a whopping circumference of 11ft - was over eight times bigger than the previous record holder. Baked over the course of 12 hours, the gigantic cup cake was made from 200 lbs of flour, 200 lbs of sugar, 200 lbs of butter and 800 eggs. When covered with frosting and custard, the one-of-a-kind dessert boasted 2,000,000 calories. The brainchild of American firm Gourmet Gift Baskets, the cupcake smashed the previous record of 151 lbs set on July 20. Appearing at the Woodward Avenue Dream Cruise Classic Car Show in Detroit, proceeds from the sale of the cupcake went to cancer charity Passionately Pink for the Cure. Ryan Abood, CEO of GourmetGiftBaskets.com, assembled a cupcake "dream team" including master-baker George Algarin to begin making the cake on August 12, five days before the scheduled unveiling. "We started off with a goal of a 7,000 lb cupcake but fate intervened on Friday morning when the baking was supposed to be complete," said Mr Abood. "The huge 8x8ft oven was opened and we found that the weight of the expanding batter crushed one of the main convection tubes blowing hot air into the heart of the cupcake causing cup-cake to collapse." Luckily, the team managed to avert disaster by rustling up a cake with only half a day to go, still managing to beat all other cupcake records in the process. An adjudicator from Guinness had flown in from London, especially to measure the cupcake and announced the record to a crowd of hundreds at the motor show. 一個(gè)“身高”4英尺、“體重”達(dá)1224磅的杯蛋糕日前被《吉尼斯世界記錄》正式認(rèn)證為世界上最大的杯形蛋糕。 這塊巨型蛋糕于本周一在美國(guó)密歇根州的底特律市公布于眾,它的“腰圍”驚人,達(dá)到11英尺,比之前的記錄保持者大八倍之多。 這一龐大的杯形蛋糕經(jīng)過(guò)12小時(shí)烘制而成,共用掉200磅面粉、200磅糖、200磅黃油和800個(gè)雞蛋。 再加上糖霜和蛋奶沙司,這塊獨(dú)一無(wú)二的大蛋糕所含的熱量高達(dá)200萬(wàn)卡路里。這塊蛋糕的創(chuàng)意來(lái)自美國(guó)“美食禮品籃”公司,它打破了之前于今年7月20日創(chuàng)下的151磅的記錄。 這塊蛋糕在底特律的伍德沃得大街夢(mèng)想之航經(jīng)典車展上亮相,它的銷售收益將捐獻(xiàn)給“粉色激情治療”癌癥慈善組織。 “美食禮品籃”網(wǎng)站的首席執(zhí)行官萊恩•阿布德組建了一支制作杯蛋糕的“夢(mèng)之隊(duì)”,其中還包括特級(jí)面包師喬治•阿爾加林。這塊蛋糕于8月12日開(kāi)始制作,當(dāng)時(shí)距計(jì)劃展出還有五天的時(shí)間。 阿布德說(shuō):“我們一開(kāi)始的目標(biāo)是一個(gè)7000磅的蛋糕,但就在周五早上快完工時(shí),命運(yùn)跟我們開(kāi)了個(gè)玩笑! “當(dāng)我們打開(kāi)8*8英尺的巨型烤箱時(shí),發(fā)現(xiàn)面糊膨脹的重量把其中一根主對(duì)流管壓壞了,結(jié)果熱空氣吹到杯形蛋糕的中心部位,導(dǎo)致蛋糕坍塌。” 幸運(yùn)的是,“夢(mèng)之隊(duì)”在離最后期限還剩半天的時(shí)間里又重新趕制了一個(gè),避免了一場(chǎng)大麻煩,而且還是打破了所有其他杯形蛋糕的記錄。 來(lái)自吉尼斯世界紀(jì)錄的一名評(píng)審員特地從倫敦飛往底特律為這塊杯蛋糕進(jìn)行測(cè)量,并向前來(lái)參加車展的數(shù)百民眾公布了這一記錄。 Vocabulary: whopping: exceptionally large (巨大的;異常的) one-of-a-kind:special, unique(獨(dú)一無(wú)二的) brainchild: an idea or plan produced by creative thought( 點(diǎn)子、主意) rustle up: to prepare or find at short notice 草草弄好(rustle up a meal 急急忙忙弄出一頓飯) |
