Now That's A Cream Puff

From jsonline: Now, that's a cream puff. The world's largest, to be exact.
Team Cream Puff, led by David "Puff Daddy" Schmidt of the Wisconsin Bakers Association, crafted a 125.6-pound cream puff Thursday at the Wisconsin State Fair, and quickly had it certified by Guinness World Records as the world's largest.
It is a record that had never been set before, but now it's the new standard for puffery. And they have the commemorative plaque to prove it.
The slab of cream, sandwiched between two shells, was carefully measured out at 71/2 inches high and 38 inches wide. The giant cream puff had to be baked in a deck oven -much larger than the ones used to make the fair's trademark cream puffs - for 6½ hours.
"It took a lot of patience," said Tom Barger, assistant manager of the Original Cream Puff Bakery at the fair. "I am relieved that we did it and that it actually worked."
Presiding at Thursday's weigh-in was Danny Girton Jr., the corporate adjudications manager for Guinness World Records. Girton noted that 97% of attempts to set a world record - even ones that are the first time - prove unsuccessful. He said the fair's record cream puff would be included in the 2013 edition of the book.

If you have never had a cream puff in your life, especially one from the Wisconsin State fair, you have never lived life to it's fullest. Cream puffs are whip cream in between two pieces of a light cake and they are sooo delicious. The whip cream is what makes the cream puff taste sooo good.
But this cream puff met a fate that should make the creators go to hell: Unfortunately, the giant cream puff didn't meet its logical fate. Shrinking by the minute in the afternoon sun, it was no longer edible, according to Schmidt.
"It has to be disposed of now. . . . ," he said with a laugh. "It has been in the heat too long."
That's like throwing away beer. Some things just shouldn't be done- throwing away a cream puff is just a violation of nature's law.
