Frances Quinn, 2013's Great British Bake Off winner has created the world’s largest Jaffa Cake.
According to itvNews the treat weighs 80kg, measures 170cm in diameter and more than 160 eggs, 8kg of dark chocolate and 15kg of orange jelly were used for the creation. That's the equivalent of more than 6,557 regular-sized Jaffa Cakes.
The creation took more than eleven hours to bake and was cooked in celebration of the 15th anniversary of Britain’s Got Talent. It served 300 people at the live semi-finals outside the Eventim Apollo in Hammersmith, west London.
The sweet treat was baked at the McVitie’s innovation bakery in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire.
Frances said: “It was great to celebrate the 15th birthday of Britain’s Got Talent with such an iconic cake.
“I hope audiences watching the show at the live semi-finals enjoyed tucking in and celebrating the contestants this year.”
David Titman, marketing director of McVitie’s, added: “Frances wowed us in 2013 on The Great British Bake Off, and we’ve been looking forward to working with her ever since to recreate the giant Jaffa Cake using our famous but secret McVitie’s recipe.
“We couldn’t think of a better way to pay homage to one of the UK’s best-loved talent shows celebrating 15 series on air.”
