Four baking enthusiasts have joined hands in an attempt to enter the Guinness Book of World Records for making the largest dirt pudding cake in the world.

Danish Ali, Archana Diwan, Nidhi Bagri and Poonam Ankur Shrishrimal love baking and intend to take that to a new level altogether. The task that they are about to take on is a new experience for them, but they hope that they will be able to pull it off well.

Poonam, a glass designer by profession, says, “No one has attempted to bake on this scale and we are making a 1000 kg cake which will be displayed at The Park Hotel Bangalore.”

As to why they decided to take up the challenge, they say that it is their love and passion for baking that has made them come forward. Incidentally, the very same team was also a part of the seven participant group which made an entry into the Limca Book of Records for making India’s largest caricature cake — a Santa on one leg.

“The preparation will be done throughout Saturday night, July 30, beginning at 9 pm, and it will be completed by 7 am the next day,” says Nidhi, a professional blogger.

Archana, a dentist, says, “There are a lot of rules like using custom made equipment and weighing machines and also that a proper recipe should be followed with the measurements scaled up. We hope that we are able to meet all these requirements as a cake of this magnitude hasn’t been made before.”  Danish, the only guy among the ‘Bangalore baking buddies’, has his own HP gas station and a catering unit.
