The SPAR Group and its extended family made world history on Saturday 5th September 2015.
They undertook the enormous challenge of building a cupcake mosaic consisting of 33,660 cupcakes (138,56m2) in order to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDSTM title for the Largest cupcake mosaic. The previous record was 133.08 m² consisting of 30,000 cupcakes assembled by Betty Crocker by General Mills, Singapore on 12 August 2015.
With the sponsorship of the cupcake mix from South Bakels, SUPERSPAR KNOWLES baked a massive total of 35,000 cupcakes. The Gelofte School in Pinetown was buzzing, with teams present on the day icing, passing and placing cupcakes to form a magnificent mosaic of the South African flag and Springbok in order to pay tribute to the Bokke for the upcoming Rugby World Cup.
The cupcakes were all sponsored after the event and many cupcakes donated to different charities in the Durban area. The proceeds of the event were donated to Cupcakes 4 Kids with Cancer, a non-profit company which aims to increase awareness and help children affected by cancer, through their love of baking cupcakes.
Supporting this worthwhile event were ex-Springboks Andre Joubert, John Allan and Sharks legend Jacques Botes, local comedian Aaron McIlroy and national patron for Cupcakes of Hope, Mrs South Africa
