One hundred chefs gathered in London to make the world’s longest tiramisu.
The team of Italian cooks broke records with a dessert measuring 440.6 metres (1,445ft) at Chelsea Town Hall.
It was also more than 8cm tall and 15cm wide, according to Chef Carmelo Carnevale.
This smashed the previous longest tiramisu made by Milanese Galbani which spanned 273.5m (897ft).
To whip up this humongous sweet treat, chefs used a staggering 50,000 sponge fingers and more than 3,000 eggs, the BBC reported.

It was topped with a golden crown and with the words ‘Grazie your majesty’, as well as the King’s personal monogram.
Ricci previously led a team that broke the tiramisu record in 2017.
He added that tiramisu is ‘the most incredible dessert that Italy has exported’.
Traditionally made with a mixture of egg yolks, mascarpone, cocoa powder and coffee soaked ‘ladyfinger’ sponge biscuits, the classic dessert is believed to have been invented in the 1960s.
Its exact origin is unknown but records suggest it was invented at Le Beccherie restaurant in Treviso, near Venice in 1969.
The name ‘tiramisu’ comes from the Italian tirami su, which loosely translates to ‘cheer me up’.
