Wall Bakery Looks To Beat Largest Cake Pop World Record: Report
The Chocolate Carousel will unveil its 100-pound cake pop at its Cake Pop-A-Palooza event on Saturday.
WALL, NJ — Chocolate Carousel, a Wall-based bakery, will be unveiling what they say is the Jersey Shore’s largest cake pop at their Cake Pop-A-Palooza event on Saturday, according to a report from nj101.5.
Weighing in at over 100 pounds, the bakery is aiming to beat a Guinness World Record for the largest cake pop, the report said. Owner Lisa Porada told nj101.5 that the idea to break the world record came to her earlier this year.
“I researched and found the largest cake pop in the world weighed 97 lbs.,” Porada said. “And that was the current record, so we are trying to beat that record.”

According to the report, Guinness wanted $16,000 to certify the record because the bakery is a business entity. Since Guinness wanted such a large payment, Porada told nj101.5 the bakery decided to go without Guinness and break the record for themselves.
Tickets to the Cake Pop-A-Palooza are $5 per person, according to the bakery's event page.
