is the first time
we've attempted to bake our way to a new record.
The event brought our teams together, united around something we
all love: good food. We decorated a total of 171 cakes, using 800
pounds of butter cream and 500 pounds of fondant along the way. In
addition to this fun foray into the sugar arts, the two-day
conference featured a keynote speech by Al Gore, workshops with
faculty from the Harvard Business School, and several panels on
industry trends, including one on bloggers moderated by
Swisher.

We'll report back if (and hopefully when) we hear the news from
Guinness.
