The following is a press release I received in my email. I copied it in its entirety and pasted it below. It’s a Nebraska story and it made the Guinness Book of World Records:
Scooter’s Coffee is the new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title holder for the Largest Cake Ball. Achieving the World’s Largest Cake Ball is part of the Scooter’s Coffee 25th Birthday Celebration in 2023. In the attached photo are Don and Linda Eckles, who founded Scooter’s Coffee in 1998 in Bellevue, Neb. GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS official adjudicator Brittany Dunn presented the certification at Scooter’s annual GROW Conference in Omaha, Neb.
The approximately 848-pound, birthday-themed Cake Ball was baked from scratch and assembled by employees from Scooter’s affiliated company Harvest Roasting. The Cake Ball will be sliced and served to more than 1,500 Scooter’s Coffee executives, employees, franchisees and coffee bean growers attending the company’s 25th Birthday Celebration at the conference.
Attached is a news release with more information and fun facts on the new world record. Additional photos and videos can be found at the links below:
