This past weekend, Guinness World Records named a 1224-pound cupcake as the world’s largest cupcake. The sweet treat was unveiled on Saturday at the Woodward Dream Cruise event in Royal Oak, Michigan. The company that made the cake, Gourmetgiftbaskets.com, says that the cupcake is estimated to be about 2 million calories and took nearly 12 hours to bake.

Designers Riccardo Nannini, Domenico Orefice and Emanuele Pizzolorusso created this great alternative to the standard plastic trash bag by using recycled paper as a sort of garbage bag liner. The recycled paper bags sit into the trash can like a cupcake paper liner and allow for easy pick-up and folding once its contents are full.
What’s good too is that the design of the recycled bags allows for multiple bags to be placed inside the trash can so you can worry less about refilling the trash liner. Just don’t put any liquids in there…

It’s Nice That posted this amusing image of a single cookie-eating Cookie Monster cupcake. There have been plenty of people making Cookie Monster cupcakes, but so far this is the one that seems to be closest to perfection. It helps also that this is nicely photographed. Nick^D, the creator of this particular cupcake has taken another version of this cupcake but with cookie crumbs showing instead of a whole cookie.
If you create your own version you can probably upload it to Flickr and add it to the rest of the bunch.
