Vasilopita weighing over 10 tonnes created in Peristeri

·

A massive vasilopita, fit for the Guinness World Records, was unveiled in Town Hall Square in Peristeri, Athens, weighing in at an impressive 10 tonnes and 400 kilograms. The colossal cake, made up of more than 70,000 pieces, disappeared in just one hour as people eagerly grabbed their share.

The vasilopita was filled with hidden coins, offering gifts to the fortunate finders. To create this giant cake, over 9.5 tonnes of flour, 1,900 kilograms of oil, 5,700 eggs, 600 kilograms of sugar and 600 kilograms of powdered sugar were used.

In a festive celebration, Peristeri Mayor Andreas Pachaturidis, alongside municipal employees, distributed pieces to the crowd. Local bakers and students from the Public School of Bakery and Pastry in Galatsi contributed to the creation of the massive dessert.
