Biggest cheesecake in world

Mexican chefs set the biggest cheesecake in the world record. It took 55 chefs and 5 student chefs to make the cheesecake. The cheesecake measured 2.5 meters in diameter, 55 centimeters and 2 tons in weight.  They used 800 kilograms of cheese and set the world record. They also used a shocking 551 pounds of sugar and 331 pounds of butter. The event was sponsored by Kraft, the maker of Philadelphia cream cheese. 20,000 people where fed by the worlds largest cheesecake. It also took them 60 hours to make the cheesecake. This really shocked me because 60 hours is a long time to bake something, I wonder where they cooled it and it also shocked me that it fed 20,000 people! Imagine how big the cheesecake had to be to make 20,000 slices. In the picture we can see thousands of strawberries and a lot of chefs around the cake, it shows how much time and dedications they took to serve this desert. It also had to take a lot of patience like all artwork in the world requires, but in this case it required extra attention and many people working as a team to finish this culinary artwork. I consider culinary work very artistic and skilled because it requires a lot of  practice, it is always timed and it needs to taste amazing at the end. So its not only about making it look good but making it taste good and under a certain amount of time with certain amounts of ingredients. In my opinion culinary art is one of the hardest arts there is because everything has to be timed, measured exact and tasteful.
