The Guinness world record for the largest cupcake weighs 596.47 kg (1315.2 lb) and was achieved by Global TV Concepts (USA).
Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the longest Christmas stollen measured 72.10 m long (236 ft 6.58 in) and was achieved by Lidl (Netherlands) at Haarlem Railway station, The Netherlands.
The 21 000 cupcakes were baked by the public and donated to raise funds for Kids with Cancer.
After the successful World Record attempt, the 21 000 cupcakes were given away to the community.
Volunteers handed the cupcakes out at local Hospitals, Children's Homes, Old-Age Homes and the Police.
Organizer Sandra Cipriano:"We asked the public to get involved by either baking cupcakes, buying cupcakes for R10 or Companies could sponsor the World Record Cupcake Display Tower for R1 000. The response was amazing!"
"Volunteers offered to bake, companies offered to give products and sponsors just came on board! I don't know how we are ever going to be able to thank every single person and company who made this amazing day possible! Photo by: Frank Trimbos

"We had people baking at Old-Age Homes, Churches, Nursery Schools, Company Kitchens, moms and kids at home. This project just brought the whole community together. During September over 30 000 cupcakes were baked and donated to "Cupcakes 4 Kids with Cancer".
"We even got donations as far as Dubai and Australia and was able to raise over R200 000 (25,500 USD) in September. This money will be able to assist so many more kids with life threatening diseases.
" I would also like to thank the staff and Clients from Rio Sol Portuguese Restaurant, Blockbusters and Xana's Pizzaria for all their help during our Charity Event!
