Recently, the PGA National Resort and Spa held a cupcake decorating event called The Great Cupcake Challenge as a part of the property’s Sweet Treat Weekend. The resort currently holds the Guinness World Record for longest ice cream sundae from last year’s event, and this year’s efforts were aimed towards creating the largest cupcake wedding cake. A “Chocolate Affair” was held in the iBAR and lobby Friday night. It featured a chocolate buffet, milk and white chocolate fountains, ice cream flavored wines, artisan popcorn, gourmet ice cream and dessert flavored “Sweetinis.”
Guests in attendance were given 18 cupcakes per family to decorate, along with a decorating kit. Kits contained two types of icing, gummy bears, Oreos, graham cracker cookies, sprinkles, Rice Krispie treats and other goodies. The goal was to set a world record, and the cake measured 10 feet high and 12 feet wide, the product of 10,000 cupcakes working together.
The fun isn’t over! If you are living in West Palm Beach or nearby, you can get tickets to the Big Taste Ice Cream Social this Sunday, which is sponsored by Whole Foods. The store will provide 40 different gourmet ice creams, sorbets and gelatos. A topping bar will be available with the expected offerings, such as sauces, nuts and fruits, as well as some unusual choices, including wasabi peas and candied bacon. The all you can eat sweet treat feast starts at noon.
Adults are $25, kids under 12 are $15 and children under five may share with their parents at no charge.
