The 10cm wide and thick vanilla cake with chocolate ganache frosting weighed 27,000kg and was prepared using 12,000kg of floor and sugar.

The event was organised by Bakers Association Kerala (BAKE) and the group's leader Naushad said Guiness World Record has assessed the cake as 6.5km , DW and other international news outlets reported.

The cooks prepared the huge cake on thousands of tables and desks which were set up across a festival ground in the city of Thrissur, Kerala.

"This is an effort to showcase our skills to the world," the group's leader said. "We ensured hygiene and taste are up to the mark," said Naushad.

The group is looking forward to smashing Chinese bakers record who made a cake measuring 3.2km in 2018.
