The honey cake weighs 275 kg and is 4.8 metre in length and 1.08 metre in width.  It took the team three days to finish the cake.

“I planned to make this cake to mark 60 years of Spinneys, which is a multinational supermarket chain. Since the honey cake of our bakery shop is very famous, I opted for it. The event was sponsored by our company Spinneys and I was the project executor,” said Preetam.

He said about 300 kg of ingredients including egg, sugar, all-purpose flour, butter, honey and cream were used in the cake. “After checking the timing, temperature, safety norms and other parameters, the team of Guinness World Records gave their approval and issued the certificate,” said Preetam.
