the world's largest birthday cake !
Las Vegas created its own giant cake last weekend in celebration of the city's 100th birthday. The cake, assembled by 600 volunteers, weighed 130,000 pounds and measured 102 feet long, 52 feet wide and 20 inches high.
Organizers said they expected Guinness Book of Records officials to confirm their cake as the world's largest within weeks.
Fort Payne has held the title since 1989, when it created a 128,238-pound cake in the shape of Alabama to commemmorate the city's 100th birthday. Residents worked with a local bakery, now closed, to build the enormous cake.
Fort Payne Mayor Bill Jordan said the city was disappointed to lose the title but still proud of its 1989 accomplishment.
"I hate that we have lost the honor, but it took a great city like Las Vegas to beat us out," Jordan said.
