London Chefs Set Guinness Record With 1,445-Foot Tiramisu

Strict on-site rules shaped a record bid that doubled as a fundraiser for the Esharelife Foundation.

Overview

  • A Guinness adjudicator confirmed the 440.6-metre dessert at Chelsea Town Hall after a weekend build, setting the new longest tiramisu record.
  • One hundred Italian chefs led by Mirko Ricci assembled a single, continuous tiramisu on site under live observation.
  • The attempt met Guinness size rules, with minimum 8 cm height and 15 cm width, and used about 50,000 ladyfingers and more than 3,000 eggs.
  • Organisers sold portions to the public, with 2 kg trays at £45 and 250 g slices at £10, and said proceeds would go to the Esharelife Foundation.
  • The 440.6-metre length beat Galbani’s 2019 record of 273.5 metres and the team dedicated the feat to the King and the Royal Family with a golden crown finish.
