Though no previous record had been set, chef Miguel Angel Quezada and a team of 55 chefs are likely to hang on to the Guinness World Record for World's Biggest Cheesecake for the foreseeable future. It can't have been easy to orchestrate the massive baking project, which called for almost a ton of both cream cheese and yogurt, 772 pounds of pastry, 551 pounds of sugar, and 331 pounds of butter.
After 60 hours of labor, the team of Mexican chefs unveiled the two-ton cream-cheese colossus, which yielded 20,000 slices that were handed out around Mexico City.
