A massive tiramisu record was set in London over the weekend of April 25–26, 2026, at Chelsea Old Town Hall, with the dessert measuring 440.6 meters (1,445 feet). The effort involved about 100 Italian chefs and used around 50,000 ladyfingers and over 3,000 eggs. This new record surpassed the previous 273.5-meter mark held by Milan’s Galbani and was officially registered by Guinness World Records. The event included a royal-themed finish with a gold crown on top, and donations or charitable aspects were mentioned in coverage of the celebration.[3][5]

Several outlets emphasized the two-day nature of the event and its cultural significance for Italian cuisine abroad.[1][5][3]
