World's Largest Stollen Christmas Cake World Record set by Germany

Bakers in Germany have really taken the biscuit after creating the world's largest stollen Christmas cake.

The monster mouthful - which tipped the scales at nearly five tons or 4,200 kilos - was more than 10ft long and took two days to create for the festival in Dresden.

Master baker Rene Krause explained: "I was very proud that not only was it huge, but it was delicious as well.

"We cut it into pieces and sold them for charity and we didn't have a single crumb left by the end of the day."
