In a record-baking effort about 1,500 bakers and chefs in southern India have baked what they said was the world’s longest cake: about 6.5km.

They spread chocolate ganache on the serpentine dessert which was stretched out on thousands of tables and desks at a festival ground and adjoining roads in Keralan city of Thrissur.

The vanilla cake, 10cm wide and thick, weighed about 27,000kg.

That much cake would surpass the Guinness record held by Chinese bakers in Zixi county who made a 3.2km fruitcake in 2018.

“This is an effort to showcase our skills to the world,” Naushad said. “We ensured hygiene and taste are up to the mark.”
