Celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay failed to create the world's largest cupcake for the Guinness World Records after it fell apart and leaked having been inside the oven for an extensive 35 hours.
It was a kitchen nightmare for Ramsay and his "MasterChef Junior" wards when they attempted to create the world's largest cupcake for the Guinness World Records, reported Aceshowbiz.
Despite the big letdown, Ramsay was still in good spirits, enough to fashion out a tiny cupcake from a morsel of the foiled mega-cupcake. The Scottish chef, holding the playful creation as it sat on his palm, posed with the young contestants of his TV show.
The usually riled-up culinary series host tends to tone down when handling the kids on the reality cooking competition show.
"Listen, they're kids. So, we weren't blowing smoke up their backside and telling them they're going to become superstars. We kept it pretty much real and very close to the bone," he said.
But the multi-awarded restaurateur says it doesn't mean that he will be any less strict on his talented proteges.
"MasterChef Junior, for me, is installing discipline outside of their family traditions and giving them something precious. There's something quite character building when you know how to cook. For me, it's about them staying on that path of discipline.
