Hundreds of bakers and chefs in southern India came together on Wednesday to create what they said is the world’s longest cake

It was a record-baking effort. Hundreds of bakers and chefs in southern India came together on Wednesday to create what they said is the world’s longest cake – about 6.5km (four miles).
They spread chocolate ganache on the serpentine dessert stretched out on thousands of tables and desks at a festival ground and adjoining roads in the coastal state of Kerala’s Thrissur city.
The vanilla cake, 10 centimetres (four inches) wide and thick, weighed in at about 27,000kg (59,500 pounds).
About 1,500 bakers and chefs, wearing traditional whites and toque blanche caps, spent nearly four hours to put it together using 12,000kg of sugar and flour.
