Largest Tiramisu - world record
set by The Italian Association in Porrentruy
PORRENTRUY, Switzerland -- 155 bakers from
the Italian community in the small Swiss town of Porrentruy
spent 14 hours creating a tiramisu Measuring eight centimeters
(three inches) high and 50 square meters in area and weighing
2,310 tonnes - which sets the new world record for the Largest
Tiramisu.
The World's
Largest Tiramisu required 799kg of mascarpone, 6400
eggs, 350 litres of cream, 189kg of sugar, 300 litres of coffee,
35kg of cocoa, 66 litres of liqueur and 64 000 biscuits. 8cm
deep, the dessert covered a full 50 square metres.
The 2.3-ton dessert, which is eight centimetres
high and 50 metres long, was created by the Italian Association
in Porrentruy in the Jura.
Live-painting artist Franck Bouroullec
was brought in to give the World's
Largest Tiramisu its final touch - a portrait of Barack
Obama in chocolate powder - a celebration, he said, of
the winner of the Nobel Peace Prize, rather than the President
of the United States.
The
Guinness world record for the Largest
Tiramisu was first taken by Porrentruy in 2007 with
a mere 782kg giant, made in the shape of Italy, which was
beaten by bakers
in the French city of Lyon last October with a 1075kg
specimen in the shape of France.
The new Largest
Tiramisu in The World is twice as large as the one
made by the French
team last year.
