Bangalore Baking Buddies sets a Guinness World Record with a 1078-Kg cake

Bangalore has set a Guinness World Record with a 1078-Kg cake that took six months of planning and 12 hours of intense cake-making. The feat was achieved by four enthusiasts of Bangalore Baking Buddies. The cake has secured a place in the Guinness Book of World Records 2016 as the largest dirt pudding cake.
This has been reported in thehindu.com dated 1 August 2016.

The dirt pudding cake has 50 kg of garnish, its weight is 1,078 kg, and it measures 8 ft long, 4 ft wide and 3.5 ft high. The adjudicator from the Guinness World Records has already presented the team the qualifying certificate and an official intimation from the London Guinness office is expected within another four days.
To make the huge cake, the ingredients were 180 kg of cream, 240 kg of cream cheese, 65 kg sugar, 190 litres of milk, and 40 kg of custard powder, apart from the garnish. The cake has been given a garden theme. The go ahead was given by the Surveyors and Officers of the Karnataka Food and Hygiene Department, and the Weights and Measures Department following which the Guinness adjudicator authenticated the final output as the largest in the world.
The cake will be distributed to 17 institutions and seven government schools in the city, according to the team.
Making such huge cakes is not new to the Bangalore Baking Buddies team. They had already set a Limca Record for their Santa Claus eggless cake weighing 302 kg in 2014.
