Genevan baker and pastry maker Gilles Desplanches has put together the world's longest "millefeuille" cake. At 1,221 meters, the cake bests the record held since 1992 by the Belgians.
日內瓦面點大師 Gilles Desplanches 和200多名志愿者以及面點專家一起制作了這個世界上最長的"millefeuille"蛋糕。這塊長1221米的蛋糕重寫了1992年由比利時人創造的世界記錄。
Gilles Desplanches launched initial preparations for the world record attempt almost a year ago. He has spent some 1,000 working hours over the last couple weeks producing the different parts of the "millefeuille".
Gilles Desplanches于一年前開始為這項工作做準備工作。在過去的幾周里,他花費了1000多個工作時制造"millefeuille"的各部分。
The cake consists of 3,600 meters of pastry divided into three layers, with a layer of milk chocolate cream and dark chocolate cream in between and topped with red icing.
這塊蛋糕由3層油酥組成,一層是牛奶巧克力奶油,中間一層是黑巧克力奶油,上面一層是紅色糖衣。
To make a millefeuille this long, Desplanches needed some 875 litres of water and some 800 kilos of flour for the almost three tons of cake base and 400 kilos of chocolate. The cream weighed almost a ton.
為打造如此長度的蛋糕,Desplanches需要875升水和800多千克面粉以及3噸多粉餅和400多千克巧克力。而奶油則需要將近1噸。
