Kerala bakers bake world's 'longest' cake

It was a record-baking effort. Hundreds of bakers and chefs came together in Kerala to create what they said is the world's longest cake - about 6.5 km. They spread chocolate ganache on the serpentine dessert stretched out on thousands of tables and desks at a festival ground and adjoining roads in Kerala's Thrissur. The vanilla cake, four inches wide and thick, weighed in at about 27,000 kg. About 1,500 bakers and chefs spent nearly four hours to put it together using 12,000 kg of sugar and flour. Large crowds watched the event organised by Bakers Association Kerala. The group's secretary general, Naushad, said Guinness Book of World Records had assessed the cake as being 6,500 metres but their confirmation of the exact length was pending.
