A team of Italian chefs smashed records with a dessert measuring a whopping 440.6 meters in Chelsea City Hall. It was also more than eight centimeters high and 15 centimeters wide, according to chef Carmelo Carnevale.
This shattered the previous record for longest tiramisu, which was set by Milanese Galbani and measured 273.5 meters. To make this huge sweet, the chefs used a whopping 50,000 sponge fingers and over 3,000 eggs, the BBC reported.

The Guinness World Record attempt was led by Mirko Ricci, who said that the huge pudding was dedicated to the king and queen.
Fact: A record-breaking tiramisu of 440.58 meters was displayed at Chelsea Old Town Hall in London, United Kingdom, April 26, 2026. Led by Italian entrepreneur Mirko Ricci and the London branch of the Federation of Italian Chefs, dozens of volunteers collaborated over two days to beat the previous record of 273.5 meters set in Milan in 2019. The Guinness Book of World Records’ official judge, Lorenzo Veltri, confirmed the on-site measurement during the event, which was supported by the Italian Embassy and the Italian Cultural Institute. All proceeds from the event were donated to the Esharelife Foundation to support poverty alleviation.
The huge dessert stretched over 400 meters and used more than 3000 eggs. It was crowned with a golden crown and the words “Grazie, Your Majesty” – in addition to the king’s personal monogram.

Ricci has managed a team that broke the tiramisu record before – he also did it in 2017. He added that tiramisu is “the most incredible dessert Italy has ever exported.”
Traditionally made with a mixture of egg yolks, mascarpone, cocoa powder, and coffee-deep “ladyfingers,” the classic dessert is believed to have been invented in the 1960s. Its exact origins are unknown, but sources suggest that it was created at the Le Beccherie restaurant in Treviso, near Venice, in 1969.
The name “tiramisu” comes from the Italian term tirami su, which loosely translates to “encourage me” or “refresh me.”
The record-breaking dessert used 50,000 ladyfinger biscuits and more than 3,000 eggs
