100 Pound Cake Pop (Official World Record)

a few months ago i didn't even know what a cake pop was then i met linja 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 box 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's record at the stage time but before we begin not all of you listened when linda 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 lindsay are you ready yeah this is my first starbucks cake [Music] well he's famous too i don't know him [Music] we got our cake pops that sign of 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 putting the camera at me manny we are back from starbucks and we got our cake pops how is it okay it's okay 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 now preheat the oven till 350 fahrenheit because it's time to get baking we're going to start with one linger 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 [Music] 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 [Music] once we've baked off our full linda stack of cakes we're finally ready to start crumbling it up and make that cake pop 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 [Music] now it's time to make our cream cheese first first we'll go into our mixer with a bunch of cream cheese a few bags of of sugar and a splash of nyx homemade vanilla extract and now we mix we had to get creative and heat the side of the bowl so the cream cheese melted faster now finally we scoop in all our frosting and then we mix again [Music] and after quite a lot of mixing we're ready to put our cake pop mix into the mold this right here is our giant custom cake pop mold with a nice hole right on top for the stick to come out but first we need to grease it up [Music] now that our cake pop mix is finally mixed up time to fill up the mold [Music] and now we toss on the lid now into the size we'll put screws to make sure that none of this moves around then we'll take these clamps and go all the way around the side of the cake pop to make sure everything is as tight as possible now it's time to fill it up the rest of the way we'll press at the tippity top until it's bulging out from all that pressure hopefully this means we have a tightly packed cake pump and finally just before the freezing process we shove in that stick oh now we're going to take all our dry ice outside and add it to the big cooler now we have to line it with dry ice [Music] linda let's call it a night [Music] it's been sitting overnight let's take this off and see how it looks on the inside oh my god it looks like we made a bomb oh my gosh i bet the fbi is watching us day two we added more dry ice around the kpop 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 on to four cups of powdered sugar then three tablespoons of meringue powder and nine tablespoons of water now we'll close down our mixer and let this go until a nice glue-like paste forms now that our frosting's 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 [Music] first things first let's take off these wedges and then i'll use these parmesan cheese wedges to wedge it open now i'm going to take off the top piece linda and then it's time to take out the entire cake pop whoa how do you feel right now oh this is awesome for this next step we're putting on our royal icing which we'll go all over the cake pop with this stuff dries really really hard and fast and all we need is a nice thin layer around so we can add our sprinkles [Music] it's sprinkle time we had to buy a lot of sprinkles to make sure we could cover this thing and given that this is probably the most fun part of the whole day we're gonna have fun with it [Music] this is more important than neil armstrong planting the flag on the moon with the addition of this stick our cake pop is complete and now we have to weigh the entire thing at once because every last thing counts the stick the sprinkles the cake pop we need to weigh it all and that's where kenny comes in we're gonna lift this pop right onto the scale and we're gonna get an exact measurement 0.000 kilograms you got that guinness all right so it's finally time to weigh we're going to lift this onto this scale here this has to be 30 kilograms to beat the world record one two three 44.240 we have a world record folks we definitely have a lot of people to thank for making this happen but our work here is not yet done now we wait to hear from guinness we have no idea how long it'll take them to look through all the information here but hopefully we get a record just for reference this giant cake pop right here is over a thousand times heavier than this little one right here okay it's been several weeks now and i finally just got an update from guinness sadly i've got bad news so what ended up happening was we got the record here it is in all its glory but i'm not going to tell ninja yet she currently has absolutely no idea that she is a guinness world record holder instead i'll take you all with me tomorrow morning on a road trip to new jersey where we're gonna surprise lindsay with this certificate
