The world record for the longest tiramisu has been smashed by chefs in London.
At 1,445ft, the gargantuan offering needed 50,000 ladyfinger biscuits for the base and more than 3,000 eggs to make the light fluffy filling.
One hundred Italian cooks gathered at Cheslea Town Hall over the weekend to whip up one of their country's best known desserts and dedicate it to the royals.
Mirko Ricci, the organiser, was delighted when his staff came in nearly 500ft longer than the previous record holders Milanese Galbani who are based in Milan.
Mr Ricci said the pudding is 'the most incredible dessert that Italy has exported' and explained the chefs wanted to make it here in Britain to thank the royals.
In a nod to King Charles the team signed the treat off with: 'Grazie Your Majesty'.
Because of strict rules when applying for Guinness world record rules the tiramisu was made on site and had to be at least 3.15in high and 5.9in wide to qualify.
When asked what is needed to have a great tiramisu, one of the chefs Carmelo Carnevale explained: 'A very good coffee, a nice and firm cream, and also a lot of passion.'
The tiramisu not only towers over its nearest culinary competition, it also dwarfs buildings.
At just over 1,000ft high the Shard in London is one of the capital's most known structures but along with Nelson's Column it is swamped by this pudding.
Assembled in coils wrapping around each other the tiramisu is the equivalent of 130 London buses.
In 2019, Milanese Galbani was the world recorder with a 897ft dessert, but before that in 2017 Mr Ricci held the previous title.

Funny what some people deem important enough to go for a fake “record”?
How many gallons of espresso are they going to make to serve with it?
Hey. Tiramisu is ambrosia.
It’s supposed to have that in it already
Indeed, this is an impressive effort, done with a great deal of planning and team work. Bravo to the organizers and team members.
However..!
The mind boggles when one considers the amount of food that will be going to waste. After all the measurements are recorded, after all the pictures are posed and snapped, what else could they do with all that sugary cake other than simply throw in into the industrial garbage disposal and flip the lever? Am I wrong about this? Is it boxed up and sold to the public?
London’s a big city. There will be plenty of people to eat it.

As long as it’s Halal.
While that is a lot of tiramisu, it is obviously not just one tiramisu.
Well, it does classically include a little alcohol; but they can probably use a booze-free extract.
The Shard in London.
Well, this beats my record. The biggest one I ever made was for 20 people.
As long as no moose limbs were offended, I suppose its okay.
Italian Tiramisu / Servings: 9 slices
Ing Filling 4 lge egg yolks, room temp ⅜ c sugar 1 c cold mascarpone, ½ tsp vanilla ¾ c cold heavy cream. Syrup 1 cup espresso, or strong coffee 1 cup coffee liqueur. Assembly 26 ladyfingers (savoiardi). cocoa powder Chantilly cream garnishes
Instructions Filling----bring about an inch of water to a simmer. In a medium, heat-proof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar. Place over top of simmering water, being careful not to let the bottom of the bowl touch the water. Whisk continually until egg mixture is tripled in size and an instant read thermometer reads between 149℉ (65℃) and 158° F (70℃). Remove from heat. Wipe off bottom of bowl. Cover with saran. Chill cold, about an hour. Stir in mascarpone and vanilla, mixing smooth. Set aside. Whip cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold cream into mascarpone mixture.
Syrup---mix together coffee and coffee liqueur. Assembly Dip half of ladyfingers, one at a time, into coffee mixture, turning once. The ladyfingers should be saturated but not falling apart. Place in bottom of 9 inch x 9 inch pan. Spoon half of filling over top of soaked ladyfingers. Sift cocoa powder over top. Repeat. Top with Chantilly cream. Dust with cocoa powder.
OK I’ll say it......there’s no telling what fell into a desert that size....either during prep or after.
You’d be hard pressed to convince me there are NO foreign objects anywhere in it.
Well, I am glad that it was longer than the Shard and not the Shart.
None of this—not even the wrapper it is resting on—is Keto. It’s not even dirty Keto. Not one drop.
