It was created on the occasion of the “Ninth Cheesecake Festival” in 2013 and made it into the Guinness Book of World Records. The cheesecake was created at Charm City Cakes bakery in Baltimore. This more than three-ton cheesecake was divided into 24.533 servings for the more than 10.000 guests who came to the event, with profits from sales going to charity. The cheesecake was prepared on a baking tray with a diameter of 2.3 meters, 80 cm deep. Philadelphia cream cheese, sugar, butter, and the original shortbread bottom were used.
The previous Guinness World Record in this category was 2 tons and 133 kilograms and belonged to Philadelphia Kraft Foods Mexico in 2009.
