440m Tiramisu Sets Guinness World Record: On April 25 and 26, more than 100 chefs in London united to prepare the longest tiramisu, stretching to a length of 440.6 meters (around 1,445 feet), which is now a part of Guinness World Records. The preparation of the record-breaking dessert was measured at the Chelsea Old Town Hall in London.
Guinness World Records certified the accomplishment after the measurement of the dessert that surpassed the previous record held in Milan in 2019 of 273.5 meters of tiramisu.
It took two days of hard work to achieve this record. The entire tiramisu was made to be the same length and height, so that it could be considered one dessert, rather than separate pieces.
