After a while nothing amazes anyone anymore. All around us, incredible things are happening and everyone is all eye-rollsies and long, dry sighs. So when we heard the world’s largest ice cream cake was being built and given out in the middle of downtown we sent our intern Vanessa out the door with as many Tupperware containers as we could find lying around the office. Pictures and stomach aches to follow.
Today in Toronto an ice cream company decided to break the Guinness Book of World Record’s largest cake by crafting a 21,000 pound ice cream cake at Yonge-Dundas Square, Canada’s equal to New York’s Times Square. Needless to say this monstrosity made the old record look like a few croissants covered in spit.

This is what the cake cutting station looked like from afar. The creepy lab coat attire wasn’t the most inviting.
This kind of looks more like people stuccoing a house than cutting a cake.
This thing not only had to be specially frozen with dry ice, but it also was placed atop a massive freezing mechanism. It was also so large in bulk that it stayed frozen. Cake wranglers stood on 4ft ladders while other people played grab-ass with the thing.
In every record set there are casualties.
Apparently they turned this semi into the city’s largest freezer. Best of luck to whoever has to carry the rest of this thing into it.
All in all a triumphant middle finger to our stomachs, records of yore and lactose-intolerants everywhere.
