The world's longest ever Christmas cake - measuring more than one kilometre long - has been created by 80 chefs in China. It took the chefs a full seven days to bake and sweeten the cake, which measured exactly 1,068 metres long, at the Pudong Shangri-la Hotel in Shanghai.
They were only aiming for a 888 metre long cake - a lucky number in China - and it wasn't until it was rolled out that they realised the scale of their achievement. It was more than five times longer than the previous record holder - a comparatively modest 207 metre effort by French cooks.
The Chinese Christmas log contained 904 organic eggs, 1045kg of flour, 209kg of sugar, 401kg of bitter chocolate and 34kg of Tahitian vanilla.
