WOODBRIDGE, Va. — A Guinness Book of World Records judge will be at Potomac Mills mall this week as chefs attempt to make the world’s tallest pyramid cake.
From Stratford University:
Stratford University, with eight campuses in Virginia, Maryland, and internationally in New Delhi, India, will attempt to break the GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS title for the Tallest pyramid cake on Veterans Day, Friday, November 11 at Potomac Mills.
The current record for the Tallest pyramid cake measured 1.98 m (6 ft 5.95 in) and was achieved by Atul Bakery, Shakti Foundation and Ashwin Sudani in Surat, Gujarat, India, on September 17, 2016.
Beginning at 10 a.m. when the mall opens, Potomac Mills patrons can watch as Stratford chefs finish building and icing the cake in the area adjacent to the Food Court.
A GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS adjudicator will be on hand to judge the cake when it is completed (approximately 2 – 3 p.m.) to confirm that Stratford’s attempt has followed the strict Guinness guidelines and certify that the record has been broken.
Certified Master Chef Raimund Hofmeister, Stratford University Director of Culinary Arts and Hospitality, and Certified Master Pastry Chef Jan Bandula, a Stratford instructor, are coordinating the design and baking of the cake at the Stratford Baltimore campus. The cakes will then be transported and constructed into the pyramid at Potomac Mills.
According to plan, there will be hundreds of sheet cakes weighing a total of more than 8,000 pounds to make up the pyramid cake, which can have no inside structures or support. All totaled, Stratford will need to distribute 32,000 slices of cake.
Stratford University has named the Fisher House Foundation as the charity of its choice for this record breaking attempt. The university will ask for $1 donations for each slice of cake served up at the mall, and that money will be donated to the two Fisher House locations in Ft. Belvoir and Richmond, Virginia. The Fisher House Foundation is best known for a network of comfort homes where military and veterans’ families can stay at no cost while a loved one is receiving treatment. These homes are located at major military and VA medical centers nationwide, close to the medical center or hospital they serve.
