On August 21st, 2010, 409 Austinites gathered to set the first record of its
kind - the most people simultaneously frosting a cupcake. With the
generous assistance of Le Cordon Bleu, Austin was able to pull of this awesome
feat that benefited local non-profits including
Lights, Camera, Help,
Mobile Loaves and Fishes,
Scare for a Cure, and
Keep Austin Dog Friendly.Here are two videos chronicling
the event.
This one was edited by me, footage by David Neff.

In addition to completing the huge task of wrangling the masses for the
cupcake frosting, Le Cordon Bleu also orchestrated the Guinness World Record
attempt for most jaffa cakes eaten in one minute. Unfortunately, none of
our brave contestants beat the record of eight jaffa cakes. Thank you so
much to Le Cordon Bleu for stepping up to the plate on this.
Other activities at the event included train rides, the cupcake pinata, and
the infamous cupcake cannon. Our event was so cool, that even Dave
Chappelle made a debut.

We're still waiting for some administrative tasks of our world record to be
completed, but I'd like to thank everyone else who worked hard to put on a great Cupcake Smackdown 2.0. The
Cupcake Smackdown couldn't have happened without you! Now onto the fun,
here's the various links to press, photos, videos, and funny tweets. List
of sponsors at the end.
