In a spectacular event at Chelsea Town Hall in London, 100 Italian chefs collaborated to create the world's longest tiramisu, measuring an impressive 440.6 meters (1,445 feet). This record-breaking dessert, which is more than 8 cm tall and 15 cm wide, surpassed the previous record of 273.5 meters (897 feet) set by a team in Milan. The effort was led by Chef Mirko Ricci, who dedicated the dessert to the King and Queen, featuring a golden crown and the inscription ‘Grazie your majesty’ alongside the King's personal monogram. To craft this colossal treat, the chefs utilized approximately 50,000 sponge fingers and over 3,000 eggs. Tiramisu, a beloved Italian dessert traditionally made with egg yolks, mascarpone, cocoa powder, and coffee-soaked sponge biscuits, is believed to have originated in the 1960s at Le Beccherie restaurant in Treviso, Italy. The term 'tiramisu' translates to 'cheer me up' in Italian, reflecting its delightful nature.
