Keep reading to discover some of the most iconic sugary records.
Most flavours of ice cream identified in one minute (blindfolded)
This record was achieved by Japanese fortune teller and model Ameepy, who wanted to attempt it because she simply loves ice cream! 🍦
Are you an ice cream lover too? What’s your favourite flavour?
To break this record, Ameepy identified an impressive total of 18 different flavours.
Sounds like a delicious challenge, right?
Largest bubblegum bubble blown
Chad Fell from USA blew a bubblegum bubble with a diameter of 50.8 cm (1 ft 8 in) – that’s over 2.5 times the size of an average head. 🤯
Oh, and he did it without using his hands to steady or stretch the bubble!
The secret of his success was the combined strength of 3 pieces of Dubble Bubble gum… and of course, lots and lots of practice. 🌬️
Largest candyfloss sculpture
A giant bunny weighing 16.78 kg (37 lb) that is made entirely of… cotton candy?!
Now that’s one delicious record. 🤤
It was a team effort achieved by Ali Spagnola, Brian and Penny Brushwood, Matt Donnelly, Jacob Smith, Jason Murphy, Eli Carll, John Rael and Heather Tayte (all from USA).
The sugar flavours used were pink vanilla and raspberry.
Could you eat the whole thing?!
Largest doughnut cake
TikTok chefs Nick DiGiovanni, from USA, and Lynn Davis, from Japan, teamed up to create a giant pink-iced doughnut cake weighing 102.5 kg (226 lb).
That’s more than the weight of the 2 chefs combined! 😱
The sprinkle-covered sweet was constructed from layers of sponge and buttercream, and wrapped in fondant. 🍩
The same duo had previously broken the records for:
- The largest chicken nugget – weighing 20.96 kg (46 lb 3 oz)
- The largest cake pop – at 44.24 kg (97 lb 8 oz)
- The widest sushi roll – spanning 2.16 m (7 ft 1 in), wider than a king-size bed!
