OMAHA, Neb. – A Nebraska-based coffee chain is celebrating a new world record.

Scooter’s Coffee announced Wednesday that it is the new Guinness World Records title-holder for the world’s largest cake ball.

The approximately 848-pound, birthday-themed Cake Ball was unveiled at the company’s annual conference in Omaha.

The cake ball, baked from scratch and assembled by employees from Scooter’s-affiliated company Harvest Roasting, 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.

Official adjudicator Brittany Dunn from Guinness World Records attended the conference to certify the record; the cake ball weighed 384.75 kilograms. Covered with buttercream frosting and festive birthday sprinkles, the treat broke the previous 628-pound record for the world’s largest cake.

“I’m proud of this team working seamlessly to accomplish an amazing goal of setting a new world record,” said Craig Stevenson, Vice President, Manufacturing at Harvest Roasting. “It’s a confirmation of who we are at Harvest Roasting and proves we can accomplish anything in the future.”

“Making the world’s largest cake ball for our Scooter’s Coffee family demonstrates the fact that Scooter’s in-store bakery items are handmade from scratch at our affiliated company, Harvest Roasting, to offer fresh, delicious baked goods to customers across the Scooter’s Coffee 29-state footprint,” said Joe Thornton, President of Scooter’s Coffee, LLC.

According to requirements, the world’s largest cake ball had to be consumed or donated to ensure no food waste. Any remaining slices from the company’s conference will be donated to Saving Grace Perishable Food Rescue. An earlier prototype of the Cake Ball that weighed 844 pounds was donated to Boys Town.

Scooter's Coffee was founded in Bellevue in 1998 by Don and Linda Eckles.
