WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Students set the record for the tallest cake shaped like a pyramid in Woodbridge.
The cake, topping nine feet two inches, was assembled inside the food court at Potomac Mills mall on Friday, November 12. Instructors, with help from students from Stratford University in Woodbridge. assembled the cake.
“We wanted to show the world that we have a lot of students in our culinary program working with chef instructors who are the top in the industry,” said Stratford Woodbridge Campus Director Ovette Finnell.
The school has 130 students enrolled in its culinary program, which has become one of the school’s most popular courses of study.
A representative from the Guinness Book of World Records traveled to the mall to measure the cake, which included hundreds of sheet cakes used to make up an 8,000-pound cake held together with no inside structures or supports.
After being awarded the record, the cake was cut and some 32,000 slices of cake were sold to onlookers at the mall.
“It is great to be a part of history. I get excited when the students get excited,” added Finnell.
